Pizza Pizza Party Party!!

On Friday, October 15th, we had a DAY LONG PIZZA PARTY!

We are big fans of themes here at Common Ground, and if there is an opportunity to integrate FUN into eating, we are going to take it!

All of our classes got to have Ledo’s cheese pizza, and they chowed down! Even our littlest Common Ground champions got into the fun.

That night, we had several families and friends who continued the pizza party fun! Some ordered from their favorite restaurant, some made pizzas from scratch, and some got the best of both worlds by making individual pizzas from our Little Caesar’s Fundraiser!

Part of the awesome benefit of the LITTLE CAESAR’S PIZZA KITS is that picky eaters get to MAKE their own pizza, and know EXACTLY what goes into it! Maybe they try a little bit of cheese while they put it on. Maybe they lick the sauce spoon, or like the look of the little olive circles so much that they use them to make a pizza smiley face. At the end, once it’s all baked, maybe the kiddos are so proud that they want to try the food that THEY MADE THEMSELVES. Give them agency over what they put on their pizza. Maybe they don’t want to try the sauce. Maybe they just want to add olive oil and rosemary to the bread. Maybe they want to put the cheese on before the sauce or wrap the pepperonis inside the dough!

Remember: You aren’t just making pizza. You are making little independent learners who aren’t afraid to experiment. You are rewarding their curiosity and cherishing the experience rather than being tied to convention or recipe. And who knows? Maybe Banana pizza with cinnamon topping is your next family tradition.

THANK YOU FOR CREATING NEW MEMORIES WITH US! Remember! Even when we are apart, we are together.

FUNdraiser: Little Caesar's Pizza Kit

Our next fundraiser helps you plan your next movie night!!

We are partnering with Little Caesar’s to sell pizza kits from JUNE 7TH to JULY 7TH. I honestly think this is the most family-friendly food fundraiser we have done yet.

  • Kids can help you create your perfect pizza! They can spread the sauce, sprinkle the cheese, add the ingredients. Did you know that kids are more likely to try foods they help prepare? You can reward them with a scrumptious cookie they also baked themselves!

  • These are frozen! They keep for any occasion. Movie nights! Birthdays! Rainy days when you don’t feel like cooking. Rough days when you want to see a smile. Have a perfect memory stored away for when you need it most.

  • Anyone can buy them and support us! Share THIS LINK or THIS FLYER on your social media, with your office, with your fam! Anyone who buys a mouth-watering pizza, breadsticks, cheese bread, or cookie kit with our link earns us money!

This fundraiser is completely online and runs 24/7! The Pizza Kits get delivered right to your door, so it’s simple, easy, perfect. I will personally be trying out the personal combo kit. Six tiny perfect pizzas for 20 bucks is almost too good to be true, and it means we can have grandparents over one sunny Saturday afternoon.

Thank you so much for supporting our school every day. We have a lot of fun and try to make these fundraisers a win for everyone. But we couldn’t do all we do (and have a blast doing it!) without your love.
