Set Up Fundraisers

We started in-service today. I’m one of those teachers who brings my laptop to work on other things. We all know only a small percentage of of in-service applies to the journalism teacher. I worked with a vendor to set up a fundraiser. We sell spirit wear at the start of school. We get a percentage (donation) of the sales. It’s the best time to sell because everyone is ready for back-to-school and freshmen and their moms want some Legacy gear. I also worked on cleaning a spreadsheet of businesses we sell ads to. We’ll start selling business ads in September.
