Does anyone have a flyer for a fundraiser for my classroom? We are trying to raise a little money for activities and events this year, but am having a hard time convincing the parents that this would be a worthwhile venture. I think a creative/ informative flyer might encourage my efforts. Thanks so much!:confused:
 
Here are a couple I have in my files. They were actually taken from here on Chef Success, and still have the original author's information on them, as I haven't done any fundraisers yet.

(P.S. I see you are from Rotterdam, NY. It sounds familiar. Isn't it near the Albany/Schenectady area? I moved from Lee, MA a year and a half ago, to NC, but had lived in MA all my life. Lee is about 35-40 minutes from that area).

Those are great...thanks, but since I am the consultant and host, I was hoping to find something with more of a letter format with some encouraging and MOTIVATING words to "light a fire" under my (students) parents.
Yes, Rotterdam is actually a suburb in the Schenectady area...Lee has some great outlets! :-)
 
I'm a MA native - Love the Lee outlets but its been years since I've been ;)
