Putting Smiles on Kids Faces – thanks to our Ice Cream Sandwich Program!

Making people smile is part of our daily mission and there’s no better way than our School Ice Cream Sandwich Program. We were thrilled to work with a Sylvan Lake school for the first time; C.P. Blakely Elementary!

We’re excited to now be running our School Ice Cream Sandwich Program out of BOTH of our restaurant locations. Every three months each location selects a local school to benefit from ice cream sandwich sales, kicking back $1 of every sandwich sold to a program or project that could use a boost at the school.

Our Lacombe location served up the “Maple Praline” Ice Cream Sandwich which included house made almond praline and maple ice cream, salted caramel and chocolate cookie, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. $1 from every ice cream sandwich sold will support the Home Reading Library and Breakfast Program at C.P. Blakely.

School Principal Anne Frey notes “We are excited to re-establish our breakfast program this year and update and replace our home reading resources that are well worn or have been lost after transitioning back and forth between “at home” and in school learning.”

A BIG thank-you to school staff and families who made the trip out to indulge in support of their school. Today (December 13th) we were thrilled to hand over a cheque to C.P. Blakely Elementary for $353!

Our next Ice Cream Sandwich at our Lacombe location is the “Apple pie à la mode”!  It’s Dutch apple pie ice cream sandwiched between two white chocolate cranberry shortbread cookies topped with whipped cream, spiced caramel drizzle and caramel apple slices. $1 from every ice cream sandwich sold will go towards Bentley School and their “Families in Need” program.
