At Challenger K8 I am the internal coach for the Positive Behavior Intervention Support initiative. As celebrations for nine grade level become expensive I wanted to incorporate a fundraiser for the next year events; however, after speaking with my principal she had asked me to work on a fund raiser for a marquee that cost $6,000. There have been many fund raisers within the school each year, so finding something different is hard.
1. Describe your planning activities. The planning for this fund raiser has been simplistic. I do not have the artistic talent to provide for this project, therefore, I have asked the middle school art teacher for her assistance. I have created a flyer to send home with students and a spread sheet to keep track of money, receipts, families, and messages.
2. Who/what were you raising funds for? …show more content…
In the front of our school we did have an electronic scroll screen. That marquee only lasted 7 years and with two estimates on fixing it, the parts and labor will cost $15,000. The new principal has decided to try for a marquee with four lines with durable plastic lettering that is a third of the cost. She did ask the district if she could pay for it out of the principal discretionary funds, but was told no. Then she went to PTO and they said that was a bit too much. Here is where I come in. As I walked around the school I realized that there is so much art on the first floor and none on the second. We are going to sell surface area of a block for $25 each with a message of their choice. It is called Make Your Mark for the Marquee (The flyer is attached). On the second floor in the hallway will have the title of Making Your Mark Through Challenger. Underneath will be the message that each family has paid
