Easy School Fundraising Ideas and Tips

admin — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:00:59 +0000

If you are looking for school fundraising ideas that are creative and easy, consider the ideas and tips I found in the article below. Raising thousands of dollars to support your teachers and students may only require the use of a digital SLR camera and a couple of volunteers.

Tips For Easy Fundraisers

(NAPSI)-Picture this: Raising funds can be easier than you imagine if you follow a few tips. Here’s some new school fundraising ideas and creative tips that are sugar-free and don’t require door-to-door sales.

1. Turn existing purchases into a fundraiser

Picateers is a company that turns school Picture Day into a fundraiser. Parents spend $2 billion on school pictures every year-and virtually none of that money goes to the schools. Picateers is changing that. Picateers gives 50 percent of every dollar spent on portraits back to schools. Picateers is able to give cash back because they train a volunteer mom to take the pictures. She snaps the pictures with her digital SLR camera and Picateers does the rest. It’s minimal effort-an elementary school can raise thousands with only two volunteers for a day. Parents love it because they can help their school by simply purchasing their child’s pictures.

2. Get healthy with a Walk-a-thon

With a Walk-a-thon, children have a blast walking to raise money for their school. It’s easy to set up. Children bring home sponsor sheets for parents and family members to pledge either a fixed donation or one that depends on the distance the child walks. Children feel a sense of accomplishment in completing the Walk-a-thon to help their school.

3. Try a fundraiser that delivers all year

eScrip is a company that works with retailers like clothing, electronics and grocery stores to give a percentage of parents’ purchases back to schools. This fundraiser requires minimal effort. A coordinator at a school sends home a sheet for parents to complete, registering their credit and debit cards. Then, when parents shop at participating merchants or buy products on the eScrip Web site using their registered cards, their school earns money throughout the year.

4. Focus on learning

A great fundraiser that supports learning is a Read-a-thon. Typically, parents and family members pledge either a fixed donation or a flexible donation depending on the number of minutes the students read during a two-week period.

Children bring home pledge sheets and start reading. A way to make it even more fun is to ask local merchants to donate prizes for the students who read the most or have a special prize for the entire class that reads the most.

These easy school fundraising ideas mean no more staying up late to bake for bake sales or bothering your neighbors for donations. They can put the “fun” back into fundraising and provide a great return for your school.

Fundraising can be a snap if parent volunteers use digital cameras to capture images for school picture day.

Limerick,The Munster Song for Bluebell ABA School

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:24:06 +0000

The song reached the Irish Charts and raised awareness for the Bluebell ABA School.
The Bluebell ABA pre-school for autistic children, the only such school in Limerick, was set up by the parents of autistic children to provide one to one care and education. Autism is a disorder of brain function that appears early in life, generally before the age of three. Children with autism have problems with social interaction, communication, imagination and behaviour.
ABA approach to learning we give these children the tools to understanding both themselves and others around them. Each child in the school has his/her own teacher who creates for them a tailor-made plan. They understand how to interact with autistic children & have had significant success in improving communication and behaviour with their pupils.The school is the only one of its kind in County Limerick, currently operating from a rented house (€1000 pm) and caters at present for six pupils. There is however a long waiting list for a place as they are the only school to meet the needs of children with autism in the Limerick area.The school does not receive state funding and its future is constantly in the balance. The reason for the continued existence of the school is the constant fundraising by parents.
Despite the small number of children, the school is full of inspiring stories, displaying how this type of care greatly benefits the children attending.All proceeds of the song wll help towards the running of the school in Limerick.

Peace Corps Project to Build a School in Senegal 12/21/08

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 18:42:11 +0000

Our goal is to construct a building for the local Primary School consisting of three classrooms. Currently, the students are taught in classrooms made of corn stalks with dirt floors and desks that are in serious disrepair. As the school consists of four grade levels of 101 students, it qualifies as an official school yet each year, for the past six years since its founding, the school is neglected and government funding is delayed until the next year. In a country where it is not yet possible for every child to be educated due to schools being inaccessible, the villagers are aware of how special their school is and how fortunate they are to be able to give their children an education from well trained educators. All they lack is a safe, clean, comfortable learning space. Although they do not have the financial resources to achieve this on their own, the community has pledged to contribute a considerable amount of materials and labor.

Thank you for watching.

If you wish to donate please visit https www.peacecorps.gov and donate to Kristin Habeck’s project (# 685-098) to Construct a Primary School, in her village in Senegal, Africa.
