Fundraising …. eewwhhh

It’s amazing what we do for our kids. Both of ours came home this fall with huge boxes of chocolate, both were sent back untouched. We sent in a cheque that about matches what the school would have made if we had sold the chocolate. At least this way I don’t have to hide the chocolate away or throw it out after it has moldered away for a year (true story).

Nobody wants kids going door to door anymore, but we still have incentive sales programs! Drive the relatives nuts! Right on! That’s not much of a journey anyway. This is a necessary evil for schools that want to go the second mile for your child. So in a sick way if you are annoyed by more fundraising that’s okay; but if you aren’t annoyed by requests regarding fundraising; perhaps you should be … annoyed.

Usually fundraisers are for the extras, better computers, cameras nice books or videos, uniforms etc. I always like to know the goals and objectives of the fundraisers and most schools will send home a note telling the parents about the details.
