Hello Center 1 and Middle Schools!
My Student Council and Freshmen class is staying active in fundraising this summer!
Our Student Council has scheduled a Car Wash at our local Family Video Store. We will work for 4 hours. Family Video will provide us with the hoses and water. This fundraiser is popular in our community, and we’ve heard from many classes that they made over $400 in the 4 hour time.
Our Student Council is also planning to run a Pitching Booth at a local festival we have each year, the Waterfront Festival. Each person will get 3 throws for $1.00. We bought a radar gun that will show how fast, in mph, they threw their ball. We will create a bracket on a large dry-erase board and indicate the top scores in each age group. At the end of the four-day Festival, the top thrower from each age group will be put into a raffle along with the other top throwers from other age groups. The winner in the raffle will win a big prize, such as a Nintendo Wii! Hopefully you can take this idea into your community!
We are also planning to do another fundraiser. The “Flock of Flying Flamingoes Fundraiser” is something we brainstormed….we will stick a flock of pink flamingo lawn ornaments in a person’s yard – including a letter telling them what we are raising money for, etc. Each person can choose what he/she wants to do – For a price, they can pay us to take them out of their yard and put them in someone else’s yard. For a larger price, they can choose who they want to send the flock of flamingoes to. We’re hoping this will be a good way to make money…
I hope that you take these ideas to your Student Council. See if they could work with your school.
Also, make sure to check www.mascmahs.org frequently. Look at the “Hall of Ideas” for many great fundraising ideas, and much more!
If you have any questions, please contact me through email. Enjoy the rest of your summer vacation!
In Leadership,
