When my son was almost 3, he suddenly despised getting his hair washed--full-fledged tantrum. The sudden nature of it concerned me so my husband and I did some heavy thinking. Then we remembered!
The day before my son started this, we were all working to put together his new playset. It...
Thanks so much for directing me to this flyer. I'll have to consider the cost of paper and toner, but this would be a great way to showcase many products without using catalogs.
Yes, I can see that I definitely need to order a Trifle Bowl! Maybe my Director has one I can borrow...
Thanks for all the great ideas, everyone. You're a lot of help.
Hi, everyone!
I have a fundraiser with my son's elementary school--approximately 500 students. After explaining all of the fundraiser options with the PTO, they decided to hold an evening cooking show for parents. I was surprised since their main concern is that they want to do something...
Just an update--the school fundraiser closed out at over $2,200. With a preschool of only 20 families in a small community, I am very pleased with the end result!
Thanks to everyone who provided advice. I am now in preparations for a fundraiser with my son's elementary school (500 kids, I...
All of your totals look correct except the very first one listed. Shouldn't it be $27.36? Thanks for creating this file; I was just planning to send a quick e-mail to my past hosts who qualify.

What a great e-mail, Becky. I got lost for a moment and almost booked a show with you :) I'm looking forward to trying something like this with all of my "mommy" contacts.
I understand what you're saying but, honestly, this school is different. I worked there for a while and the biggest problem is getting the parents to leave! They love to watch their kids in the school environment and invariably spend 15--20 minutes talking with the teachers and the other...
Thanks for the ideas. I've personally never been a fan of bread dipped in oil so I didn't think of it; however, I think this group of parents would love something like that.
The food chopper is also a definite possibility--my son comes running to help any time he sees me pulling it out. :)
I am doing a fundraiser for a Montessori Early Learning Center (my first fundraiser). Rather than ask the parents to attend a kick-off show, the director suggested displaying PC items and serving finger foods as parents come to pick up their children at the end of the day.
I would also...
