Popcorn Friday
Sato students LOVE
popcorn Friday
And so do we!
With the support of families and volunteers, one Friday a month, SECO hosts Popcorn Friday for students. We love seeing how excited the kids get (and some staff members too!) when they see the popcorn machines in the cafeteria.
During lunch, SECO sells bags of popcorn to students for $1.00. For $30.00, parents can sponsor a class for the month, which ensures every student in that class gets a bag of popcorn! Read on for more on this much-loved program.
Popcorn Friday Program
We're excited for another great year of Popcorn Friday! In combination with school assemblies and Spirit Days, Popcorn Fridays are the perfect way to end the week.
CLASS SPONSORSHIP
Before each month's event, SECO reminds families that class sponsorships are available on our website. A month marked "sold out" means that class already has a sponsor — in that case, consider sponsoring a later month or a different class. Some classes struggle to find sponsors each month, so extra sponsorships are always appreciated!If a class isn't sponsored for the month, students in that class can purchase a bag of popcorn at lunch for $1.00.
HOW IT WORKS
Popcorn is popped fresh in the cafeteria by our wonderful team of volunteers and distributed to most students during their lunch period; kindergarten students receive theirs during snack time. With the exception of first grade, all students are required to finish their popcorn during lunch and cannot take it out of the cafeteria.
ABOUT THE SNACKS
SECO uses Jolly Time All in One Popcorn Kits for our events. These kits are gluten-free, 100% whole grain, made with non-GMO kernels, and popped in either coconut oil or sunflower oil.Upon request, SECO also offers individual packages of Pirate's Booty (Aged White Cheddar Cheese Puffs) as an alternative for students with braces. Students do not choose between the two snacks — families of students with braces need to request the alternative in advance. Please review nutritional labels and ingredients for either snack if you have concerns.
