Fundraising

Jack came home with his first school fundraiser. Argh! I really don't like these things. Most people would probably be more willing to just donate 10, 20, or 50, dollars to the school than to sift through a magazine filled with stuff they really don't need or want. I really don't like going to neighbors, friends, and family to ask them to look through the book while we are standing right there and ask them to make a decision about buying something. Talk about guilt tripping people into buying stuff.

So I'm going to get you to buy stuff you don't need by taking a different approach...lol. There is a website you can go to, to look at the stuff Jack is selling for his school. This way you can look at it at your own leisure without someone staring over your shoulder pressuring you to buy something. I really don't care if you never look at the website or don't buy anything. I just feel guilty not putting forth any effort when they send these things home.

The website is www.believeholidays.com It will ask you what school you are supporting. Scroll down to Jenks West Elementary. It will send you into the "catalog" section of the site. If you find something you CAN'T live without let me know and we will order it.
