SeaGlass Candles helps to raise funds for Show Stoppers!
When music teacher Rebecca Edmundson decided to start a show choir called Show Stoppers! http://www.emerson.u98.k12.me.us she was overwhelmed by the number of interested students. A total of 43 students in grades 4 to 8 signed up for the school’s first ever show choir. The group plans to perform throughout the year competing at district and, hopefully, state festivals in the spring. In order to provide for costumes, stage props and other show needs Connors Emerson School Show Stoppers! are holding a fundraiser.
Kelly Mitchell at SeaGlass Candles has stepped in to help the cause. The students will sell SeaGlass Candles with 40 percent of the sales going toward Show Stoppers! SeaGlass Candles are elegant soy wax candles with sea glass embedded in the candle. The sea glass is collected by Mitchell from around the MDI area. The embedded sea glass wax gives SeaGlass Candles an added keepsake once the candle’s life had been exhausted.
The fundraiser will run from Aug. 15 to Dec. 1. Orders can be made directly through a student or via the website at www.seaglasscandles.com Please note in the special instruction area, listed under each candle that the order is for Show Stoppers!, or send an email to Kelly@seaglasscandles.com to make clear the order is for the Show Stopper! Fundraiser. Orders will be delivered to the students Dec. 10 at the Winter Concert at Connors Emerson School and the students will deliver each order in a timely manner. If special arrangements are needed, Kelly Mitchell can be reached at xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Show Stoppers! will have its first cameo appearance opening the annual Lip Sync/Talent Show, Friday, Oct. 16, at 6:00 in the Emerson gym.
About SeaGlass Candles:
Located in Bar Harbor, SeaGlass Candles was started in 2005 by Kelly Mitchell. Mitchell came up with the idea for Sea Glass Candles when she realized there wasn’t a significant presence in the local area to purchase candles. SeaGlass Candles are made of soy wax and each one has a piece of sea glass embedded into the candle giving it a unique look and keepsake when the candle’s life has been exhausted. SeaGlass Candles also offers Soy Lip Balm and Soy Lotion. For more information visit http://www.seaglasscandles.com
