I was approached to do a FR for the 6th grade whale watch in either Oct or Nov, the chairperson wasn't sure which month yet. He did let me know how they run their FRs at this school and it's very confusing to say the least.
Each student has their FR setup in their own name - meaning I would have to give each student a check for the amount they earned. (not a big deal - I can do this)
They want me to host a pizza party for the 15 who sold the most or give out gifts - asked him who would pay for the pizza/soda/cups/plates/napkins - you get the picture or gifts...told me that the representatives and consultants who they have used in the past have paid for this out of their own pocket without being reimbursed.
They want me to be the one who gets the delivery (at my home) and bring it to school once it arrives and bag it there by myself with little to no help from students or teachers.
I've done FRs for other schools when I sold for another company and it has never been like this. I would write one check to the class and they would deposit it into the student's account themselves.
I did give a pizza party a couple times but was completely reimbursed by the class once the FR was done and I gave them receipts and I always had help bagging products by the class itself and teachers.
I'm starting to think that it's not worth doing this FR at all. Don't get me wrong -I would love to help students go to see the whales but it seems like a lot of work!!
I need advice - what would you do?
