Raising Money for School
We received an interesting letter home from school this week from the school’s PTA. The letter wanted parent input on if the current school fund raisers should be continued in the future or should parents simply pay a $50 per student fund raising fee at the beginning of the school year. Interesting choice!
Personally, I think the fund raising can continue the way it is. Parents can choose which programs, if any, to participate in and don’t have to do any if they don’t want to. Of course, there are also other methods of school fundraising besides sending kids out door to door. For example, SchoolPop.com partners with national retailers to allow a percentage of customers purchases to go directly to their chosen school. So, just be being a part of SchoolPop and doing what you know you’re going to do anyway, shop, you can earn money for your school.
What fund raisers are you involved with for your children’s schools?
