The verdict!
Hi everybody,
I was called down to the school office at the end of the week -- but I didn't do anything wrong :) I was told that I have approval to hold my next fundraiser! A big thank you to my Principal! The only condition left is that I have to find a "teacher advocate" to work with me. At my school, any club or event must have a staff member involved with it. So, I know which teacher I'm going to ask... I just need to get enough time with her to do that. Once it's set up, I can start work.
My plan right now is to hold a raffle. With my family's help, I'm going to be asking businesses for donations and sponsorships. We are going to make gift baskets to raffle off to students and staff. The baskets will (hopefully!) have nice themes like A Holiday Dinner, A New Year's Eve Party, A Gift for Mom (or Dad or other family member), and more. If I cannot accumulate enough items to make many baskets, then I hope we will raffle off gift cards or gift certificates and that type of thing. It really just depends on how much can be collected.
My mom and I thought that this would be a great holiday project because it will not only help me to raise more DorisDollars but it will also help people at my school to make nice holidays for their families. I mean, if a student could buy a raffle ticket, and win a basket that has a gift certificate for a turkey, plus stuffing mixes and canned cranberry sauce and more, it could mean they would save a lot of money for their family. Or, it could even help a student or staff member to save on their holiday gift shopping.
We are going to make sure that we have items that will appeal to everyone because I know that not everybody celebrates the same holidays and traditions that I do.
So, that is the next event that I'm planning! I'm excited about doing this and I really hope we have enough time to get it done. When I know more, I'll be back with news!
Love, Kelsey.
