What are good things to promise to an all girls catholic school with a uniform for 7th graders?
My school is having an election for president of each grade and my friend and I are running for seventh grade president. We can’t think of more promises, here is a list of our current promises.
•Fundraisers for a trip to see a Broadway Show
•We will put suggestion box in each of the homerooms
•Maybe we could vote for school lunches once a month
•Trip to a local restaurant one day for lunch.
•We will try for more dances
•7th grade dress down day to Support the troops in Iraq
•We can have a bake sale to raise money for 7th grade sweat shirts
•7th party at the end of year in the cafeteria
•Secret Santa
•Birthday goody bags (with candy and card)
•7th grade bulletin board for information about upcoming events
•Talent show
•CD of Songs that we all like
Please Help
I would like to know how dressing down would support the troops who basically live in their uniforms themselves. Sounds like you have quite an aggressive list their. You are there to get an education you know. I would go with what you have. it’s the quality of what you offer not the quantity.
How about…..Nobody has to go to catholic school anymore!!!!!!!????
dude! i went to a catholic school from kindergarten to 8th grade! i was president of student council in 8th grade. those are some good propositions! well, since you guys have uniforms, why don’t you guys propose to have some free-dress days! everyone loves a break from uniforms every one in a while. my school used to have jean-day, where everyone could where jeans BUT they had to pay $0.25. it’s not much to pay and you guys could use it in your treasury to pay for other activities!
good luck!
That looks like a good list. Just remember you should make sure whatever you promise you can actually follow through and deliver.
If you are looking for new ideas in fundraising try travel. People are already buying travel (especially now for the summer vacation). You can set up a website for free. You advertise your site which has a search like Expedia or Travelocity. So they pay the same amount of money for their travels but the profits go to your organization. This can be an ongoing fundraiser year round and one sale can bring in as much money as a lot of efforts with other programs.
