Holiday Gifts

If you can't think of a gift to give, make a donation!

Hi all! I gotta report on how the 7th and 8th grade “community service” club I am advising is doing. So far this year, we have volunteer face-painted at a fall festival and helped to decorate a “giving” tree at my school where staff by items for families within our school in need. Also, my kids are really interested in helping animals so we are raising money for the local animal shelter by raffling off gift baskets- a cat theme, dog theme and (TONS) of candy baskets. We started off with our tickets at $1 each and haven’t gotten many people buying tickets. SO, the kids voted earlier this week to lower the price by half (which entailed them tracking down everyone who’d already bought tickets- but they did!) and guess what- we are rolling in the $$! I was a little worried there at first when they wanted to lower it, but hey they made the decision and they have sold every single ticket! They have been selling all the last week and the selling continues into next week! Teachers are putting in like $10 at a time for a chance to win!
