I just wanted to update everyone about the Arkansas Music Educators Convention that I just returned from. The convention was great and we had a huge turnout! Our booth was a popular place for everyone at the convention! Our lollipop fundraiser and popcorn fundraiser were a huge hit with everyone who was able to sample our products. I met so many wonderful individuals at the convention! The more conventions I attend and exhibit, the more I am able to truly understand your needs for fundraising. To hear about your desires to take your students to Washington D.C, New York, etc, are exciting to me! I love to hear teachers talk about wanting to show their students different places, and be able to take them on trips to learn new things. I always want to be available to anyone and everyone who needs help with fundraising, or choosing a product to use to fund raise. I am always here to help, in any way I can. The more stories I hear about your intentions with fundraising, the more excited I get. I want to be a part in helping make trips and competitions real to you and your students. Please don’t ever hesitate to give us a call, or shoot us an email. We are ALWAYS here to help, and truly love being able to help you all raise the funds you need to make these trips possible for your students. Whether you have an upcoming trip now, or in the future, give us a call today, to get started planning for your next successful fundraiser!
I’m not sure if the rest of the country is dealing with the the same state budget cuts, but we sure are feeling it here in Kansas. I am truly concerned for our schools, and our kids future, with these recommendations to cut our kids grant funds. I am going to do everything in my power, as a mother and a concerned resident, to help our schools raise as much money as possible, in hopes that we won’t feel the effects of these proposed budget cuts. Yes, I know in our current economic climate, we are feeling a lot of reluctance from the community to participate in our fundraising efforts, but more so than not, I’ve found that the majority of business owners, parents and family members are ALWAYS willing to help support their kids in raising money for their school. We all have needs, but we are all aware that our kids are our future firefighters, police officers, doctors, lawyers, etc. We must make sure that we are doing everything in our power to provide the best curriculum, environment and teachers for our children to become the best they can be. School is the single most important expense for our children’s future as well as our future. Though they may argue with you every morning about not wanting to go, they truly do enjoy the interaction with other kids their age, and learning new things in school. It is up to us parents, family members and local community to make sure we are supporting our local schools by helping provide safe playground equipment, up to date technology for learning, transportation, and a curriculum for all kids to comprehend. The government may be cutting back state funding for our schools, but we still have the power to help make a difference in our schools. It’s clear to me that fundraising for our schools is something that will never go away, regardless of how much you might want it to. Help your school, PTO, PTA or Booster Club by presenting new, exciting fundraising ideas to help raise much needed funds for your school. The sooner you get started planning your next year’s fundraisers, the more successful they will be.
