How much does boosterthon cost

If your school has an online payment option and you pay online, a receipt will be emailed to the email on file after the transaction. The Boosterthon character theme is Sports City Now. Students learn about teamwork, care, courage, grit, and celebration while students see how working together makes a big difference for their school. Product fundraisers The practice typically involves the purchase and re-sale of popular consumer products by a non-profit group whereupon the group sponsoring the sale keeps a portion of the gross sales.

Products can be purchased in bulk and paid for in advance by the organization, then re-sold to supporters. A large majority of schools use fundraising activities to raise money from external sources to fund and support co-curricular activities and other school functions.

In the Apex Fun Run model, teachers keep 10 percent of what their students earn, Barnhart says. We just finished using them a few weeks ago and all I can say is they rock! With boosterthon they came in with a great message teaching good character traits, positive reinforcement, lots of energy.

They did everything, t-shirts, prizes, helping count money, set up, clean up It was worth it for us. If you have any other questions you can send me a private message. Thanks for the response but how did you feel about them taking so much of your profit?

How did the teachers feel about the classroom interrruption everyday? They took less than Sally Foster took in the fall. Plus with Sally Foster cookie dough we had to unload, sort, wait for parents to pick up, find places for dough that was not picked up. It honestly took 5 minutes or less in each class we walked with the Boosterthon Team everyday.

The Principal and the Superintendant were in a class when the team was there and they were quite impressed with how they handle everything. If the timing isn't right for a teacher then the Team asks when is a good time and goes back. It was great for us. We are looking forward to seeing them again next year! If you want me to send you pictures I'd be more than hapy to. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I also personally don't think it's the responsibility of very young children to fund-raise for their PTA. Parents are the ones who should be fundraising, not my 6-year-old. On various Internet forums, the company's program appears to be polarizing, with some parents ranting about the cost and methods of the company while others rave about the money raised and how much fun students had. It's not uncommon for companies that supply cookie dough, magazines or other items to school fundraisers to collect 50 to 70 percent of the gross receipts, said Jason Leahy, executive director of the Illinois Principals Association.

But the kids are getting prizes and other things. Zatz said she tried to persuade officials at her children's school and at Indian Prairie School District not to allow the company to run the program at Fry, arguing that Boosterthon's pep rallies and daily "huddles" with students not only cut into instructional time but place too much pressure on children to raise money.

Fry Principal Dave Younce could not be reached for comment, but a spokeswoman for the district noted that several of its schools used Boosterthon this fall.

The schools that participated said School fundraisers began to grow in popularity — at least in frequency — in the s. Today, amid the ever-increasing cost of education and the constant struggle many schools face to obtain money, parents can expect that fundraisers will likely increase.
