Terrace Ridge School hosts latest Ice Cream Sandwich Pop-up Sale

Mar 11, 2020 | 8:12 AM

LACOMBE- There is nothing better than seeing kids jump in, take to task and love every minute of it.

The latest Cilantro and Chive Ice Cream Sandwich Pop-up Sale took place at Terrace Ridge School in Lacombe in support of the Ice Cream Sandwich Program.

Under the program we kick back full proceeds from the pop-up sale ($4/sandwich) as well as $1 from every ice cream sandwich sold in the restaurant over the 3-month period to the school.

Grade 6 students at Terrace Ridge were all in, helping scoop up and serve 173 ice cream sandwiches.

The latest creation is a play on black forest cake with two maraschino cherry cookies with Dutch chocolate ice cream and sprinkles.

Terrace Ridge will be using the proceeds from the ice cream sandwich sales to help replace and supplement Physical Education Supplies and Resources. Schools do receive funding for basic gym supplies like dodge balls, volleyballs, basketballs, nets, hula hoops, bean bags, badminton rackets and more but maintaining those items each year is costly.

The school needs to ensure they always have enough equipment for 30-50 students to participate at a time and with over 400 students at the school that equipment is well used.

School Principal Deborah Van Delden says they are also eager to expose students to as many new and exciting opportunities as possible and they currently have a wish list of supplies they would love to purchase.

That list includes indoor floor curling, don’t walk in the hallway decals, Gaga Ball, and 9 square in the air.
