School is in full swing! PTO MOMS BEWARE!
Well a part of me is glad school is back in full swing the other half of me is crying inside. This year I have taken on co-vice president of PTO and being room parent coordinator! I truly enjoy being at the school on my days off, these kids are wonderful! I am sad we had to leave our teacher from last year but out new one is panning out to be pretty great too! I want to help all schools to at their full potential to raise money, so lets just get one thing straight! I HATE FUNDRAISERS, I know, I know they are a necessary evil to ensure our kids get the proper learning materials but I swear I will use the next fundraiser book that comes home as a fire starter!! This is a few things our school is doing this year to help boost the amount of money that PTO raises!
AMAZON SMILE
This year we have joined what is called amazon smile.
Amazon smile is a wonderful way to help earn cash back for your school. We had our treasurer sign us up and we spread the word like wild fire! Hopefully this pans out to be profitable.
If you are like me I use amazon for everything! Check it out and propose this to your school!
BY THE WAY HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MOVIE!! My face has never hurt so bad from laughing.
COMMUNITY REWARDS
IF you have a local grocery story like we do in Kansas see what they offer for community rewards! We are able to like our Dillon's Cards to an account set up for our school and they will give back money !! WHOOP WHOOP free money $$
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Last but not least and MY FAVORITE is box tops for education! I know 10 cents for a piece of card board but my goodness those 10 cents add up!! We made a grade by grade challenge to see what grade level can collect the most each semester! We got baggies and the kids collect them and put them in the library when they have collected 10 and they grab another baggies and start collecting more! A town in Nebraska raised alone $100,000 last year in box tops!!!
Last but not least we are also wanting to give parents who don't have time to do all the fundraising a opt out form! This has actually worked great and 100% profits are coming back to the school!
Peace, Love and Doodles
