"We offset the cost of fieldtrips, fund computer programs the students use to enhance learning and provide two TMS scholarships for graduating Hamilton Seniors, just to name a few," said Kelly Newman, the group's organizer.

The sale comes after the Templeton Home and School's less than successful annual magazine fundraiser. Newman said that sale is usually very profitable, but this year they fell short of their goal by almost $6,000.

"We are trying hard to make up the difference and have found a new, fun, exciting and inexpensive fundraiser to make up the difference we fell short in the fall, and with a group effort, we will surpass even that amount," Newman said.

The Fun Pasta fundraiser will run between February 6-20. Just in time for March Madness, the pasta company has the logos of over 50 collegiate teams. Residents can also buy pasta in a shape for every holiday, sport, animal and more.

Students will receive their fundraiser brochure on February 6 and orders are due February 20. Any additional questions can be directed to Kelly Newman via her email or phone: Cell 262-229-5251, and home 262-820-9989.
