Fundraising

I have been very fortunate to get approval for a field trip that will allow me to take my students to Six Flags.

We now have to raise the money for it. We have been raising money a week now and its off to a good start. I think. LOL

We have begun selling snacks out of my classroom to raise the funds and are taking donations. As of yesterday we had just shy of $500. We need to raise near $1800 by May 1. The students are commited to raising the funds. Today we are going to a local lumber store to set up a bake sale/donation table. One of the other clubs at the school I teach out did the same thing, but without the baked goods to offer, and raised $1100. We are only hoping for half of that. If we get more, that would be AWESOME! However, half of that would be just fine with me because it would boost their moral and get us closer to our main goal of paying for the tickets and the cheaper form of transportation (school bus).

Fundraising isn't fun - but it does teach them to work together for a common goal.
