Here is a fabulous, fabulous,
fundraiser thought up by my creative principal. At Meet the Teacher day before
school started, each parent received a flyer advertising our fundraiser:
It said that for $5.00 they could order
a picture of their child with their teacher on their very first day, and that
the picture would be in a special frame decorated by the child.
Then, on the first day, we set up a little sign on one of the
bulletin boards:
And we took picture of each kid with their
teacher in front of it. Then we had the kids decorate picture frames:
We used these
ones from Oriental Trading:
The kids had a lot of fun gluing on all
the puzzle pieces and it was great for practicing "A dot holds a
lot!"
Our principal had all the pictures developed at Walgreens and they
looked so adorable in the frames!
It's a priceless memory for the
parents, and all the money goes right back to the kids via field trips,
projects, parties, etc. A win-win!
