I like the ones where the school gets all of the proceeds like the papa murphy coupon books or somemthing you might actually use too.Freedom's Threadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730773773362114656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126944216469144580.post-91853014689228267322009-09-27T20:01:36.431-07:002009-09-27T20:01:36.431-07:00You guys all feel my pain and yes Julie our fund r...You guys all feel my pain and yes Julie our fund raising timing is exactly the same!

The other problem is that our principal has one fundraiser (Happenings Books) and then the PTA have one too. And it all comes after the first few weeks of school when you have to give class donations, buy school supplies, new school T-shirts, put money on their lunch accounts and then school pictures.<br />Our school is trying the walk-a-thon this spring. I hope it does well.Julie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848882310002037707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126944216469144580.post-42343077652147192022009-09-24T16:47:44.137-07:002009-09-24T16:47:44.137-07:00I think the school gets a tiny portion of the proc...I think the school gets a tiny portion of the proceeds. I would much rather have something like a walk-a-thon where people can donate $2 or $3 and it all goes to the school!Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400418900678724532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126944216469144580.post-74062556196110428202009-09-24T13:07:34.619-07:002009-09-24T13:07:34.619-07:00I HAAAAAAATE school fundraisers.
