Fundraising

The school year is just starting, but we're getting things going for EFT.  It's will cost the kids $200 each this year, which is a bargain for four days - food, lodging, classes, swimming, zip-lining, and entertainment. We're busy fundraising already.  Order forms went home for Spirit Cups.  You can get almost any college or professional team logos.  Some kids pay for their entire trip by selling BSU cups.  This year some moms have taught all the sixth graders how to make bracelets out of parachute cord.  We're trying to sell those for $5 each.  I have one student who's parents set-up a Facebook page and sold $200 worth to friends and family.  We also sold pizza, soda, and snacks at Bingo Night.  Now we just have the Monster Mash Dance to get through.  It's a lot of work, but it's good because it's all over with by the end of October.  After that it's up to each student to babysit, rake leaves, shovel snow, or save their birthday money.
