Fundraising Time Again

Remember in Grade school when our teacher used to ask us to donate or have fundraising campaign? We have to sell cookies, chocolates and nutribuns. Actually I used to compete with my teachers in selling candies, ube yam and pastillas. She's not mad at me for the competition but then she usually called me for recitation. Good that I know the answer every time she calls me. Lagi akong handa. Girl scout kasi ako. lol. Yung nutribuns noon talaga mabenta yun dahil very nutritious ang content besides that it is really big. It's the size of a bowl and worth only 20 centavos. Then it increased its price to 25 centavos which is really not bad. What my classmates used to have with it inside is not butter but ice cream from mamang sorbetero. Or sometimes we bought pancit and have them inside the nutribun. Dahil sa malaki ang nutribun, half of this bread I brought at home for my snack with pop of course. Pop cola is not costly that time. I would rather have Coca cola or Pepsi but when I don't have enough money (baon) then I considered cosmos or pop cola for soft drinks.

Ano ba kasing fundraising na mas favor sa lahat? I know parents complained about such hassles. As if the schools cannot provide. Unlike other government agencies, unlike other countries. But for every fundraising there is always a different goal and purpose. Sometimes they said it's for the good of all students and their families. Which is true if you are an officer of the club. But know what? When I was in elementary although we have parent-teacher association with their officers: from president to secretary, treasurer, PRO,  and members still is what matters is the Class President (student) of every class room is the one taking charge of everything that's the role of the president of the class. They know their roles, their task and they don't need for their parents to be bothered about the event in their school unless of course if there are so much issues that they cannot solve. This is also true in High School. Yeah especially in High School when I was enrolled in private school. The difference in public and private is simply too many un-similarities.

Sometimes I think we have to open up some eyes of the new teachers and students by watching TV shows that reflect school activities such as: Saved By The Bell, Ned's Declassified, iCarly, etc. Anyway they know what to do I think all they need is a REMINDER! Just like medical practitioners reminding their doctors on the value of retailing medical products.

FUNDRAISING: Are we all gonna be doing fundraising? I think it's okay if the allowed amount is really affordable. The spare coins and bills.

How many can you sell? How many pot of POINSETTIAS can you sell and how many points you can get? Not bad really to sell poinsettia. Their plant variety is superb for Christmas. Poinsettia  is the best
fundraising at the school.

But how about the recycling of empty bottles and empty cans? Isn't that a money-making source of fund?

Or try this TRIVIA:  COINCIDENCE or ESP?

Drop COINS inside the bottle provided for if you believe in COINCIDENCE.

Drop $5.00 bill inside the bottle provided for if you believe in ESP


Would that be fun?
