Little drops maketh an ocean- agreed. However I am yet to understand the rationale behind fundraising in a public school context through selling brownies or cookies. The effort, the number of flyers sent home to remind the school population about the event, the money spent by individuals to "donate" the goodies and then splitting the profits sounds a bit off-kilter. To begin with, if each parent "donates" the money that was spent on buying the "goodies", we have saved gas driving to the store, saved the time standing in line at the check out counter and not added to the obesity factor prevelant in this affluent nation! If we just want to have a nice social event where families get together and just chat, hey, lets do a flick with popcorn! The racket ball wall could be used as a ready-made screen and the projector and film need to be scouted around for! eScrip seems the easiest way to fundraise without a sweat. All ye gentle readers living in the US of A, please check out www.escrip.com and register your favorite credit cards with the school code of your choice. To get that, u need to contact that school and get it from them. Then u r set! Each eligible purchase made, pays a percentage to the school. People with kids in the public schools can do it for their kids' schools. For the rest, just support your local neighborhood school. Each drop does count when u are not there counting the drops!
