8th grade orientation night

[Brandon_L]

It is 8th graders and parents. We will defiantly do the pay x dollars and drive robot, we have a goal and a soccer ball we can use also.

Hexbugs we've done every year and I just printed out the order form. I don't think they'll be here by Tuesday though. (By next, I meant the one coming up, the 16th) I will defiantly try though.

Any other ideas? I love you guys, your so creative

Donation box is also simple enough. We have enough space, we could have a drive-a-robot/hexbugs table and a information for parents/incoming students table

Check to be sure you are allowed to solicit at the event. Some schools would frown upon that. It gives the new students and their parents a message: Oh, everyone's just out to get money.

Along with the other ideas, how about the basics? Have a bake sale at the same time - 8th graders are always hungry. Get your parents to bake cookies, bags of popcorn, etc., and sell them for 50 cents a pop - you may only raise $100 or so, but every little bit helps.

Update!

Just got back, We did pretty good I'd say. Sold about 11 hexbugs @ $10 each and made about $20 off of "Drive the robot for one minuet for one dollar!" (And we let kids go for free if they didn't have a dollar, figured it was worth it to get them involved). We had a soccer ball and a goal set up and they had tons of fun.
