Fundraising Issues...

theres this thing Ive heard about, where you have these people come and take your principle away, and they lock him in a room behind bars, and take his photo

then everyone in the school has to pay money to get him back.

Whats it called again....... uhmm....... oh yeah: Kidnapping!

(ok, I got nothing! but Im thinking about it)

maybe your club could sell all those pretzels to the other clubs?

how about bagels and cream cheese?

ebay party?

Actually, Ken, you're not that far off from some fundraisers I've read of (not for FIRST) in the past. In essence, you find some willing teachers and a willing member of the local law enforcement (School resource officers seem to be common, so give that a shot) to "arrest" them and put them in a jail in a courtyard/cafeteria/whatever for the day. (The teachers know this in advance for sub purposes.) The students then have to donate bail money to the cause du jour to get their teachers out.

Of course, you'd want to make sure you've got a pretty popular teacher; I know I had a few in my younger days that I would let stay in the jail!
