I am so sick of fundraisers! Each one of our kids have fundraisers.
For the past 2 wks Bryant has been selling candy bars. Each for $1. He is the top seller in his grade but there is so much running to sell them, making sure you have the correct change, etc. Is it really worth it. We are paying out money for the gas to run on these. And then there are some students who don't even sell any!
Victoria and Jordan's fundraisers will becoming up in the next 4 wks so more running, collecting money, etc.
Then there is our neighbors kids who are, also, selling items for the class trips.
I am wondering if I am the only one that our school has so many fundraisers? Why can't each student just pay their way to these trips?
I do not remember us doing this! I wouldn't have wanted to either. Some of the people we go sell to are, also, sick of them.

I hear you!!! We have had the knocks on the door though and I've refused most of them just because I get them from the girls at work. We can only be giving to so many of them before you become broke.
I know that Brianna just had one not to long ago. You aren't the only one.
The one good thing though we don't have them with Ramsey elementary. I'm thinking though it might be happening in middle & high school. I know one of Maria's mom that is on what is called the PTA and find out why our school doesn't have fundraisers and others do. I'll let you know what I find out.

The pizzas are sold by the 5th graders who are going to Wolf Ridge and I don't have any 5th graders anymore.
Bryant did just fine selling to our neighbors and some to our church friends. He sold a total of 6 boxes each box has 40 candy bars.
Victoria is going to be selling summer sauage this fall you might want some of that.
I don't like to go more then a 5 mile radius to sell because then we are forking out for the gas. If we are in Willmar at the time of selling we'll try and stop in.
Thanks, Vonnie for your offer though! Posts: 1020 | From: Spicer, MN 56288

Yes I would like some summer sauage! Just have her give me a call and I can even pick it up. I haven't been down your road for a long time to see what is new.

Well, I am sorry but the fundraiser is over with until next year! That fundraiser goes on from the first of Sept. until almost until the end of Sept.
Taco pizza is my favorite, also, and that is what I got this time from our neighbor boy. I'll try and remember for next year to give you all a call. There is one person who will be 5th grader next year that I know of.
Vonnie, there isn't too much new. One new house that went up last fall and was just sold this summer. Another lot was sold but nothing has been built on it yet. The Lewison's have done some cute landscaping at the end of their driveway. They are the ones on the left as you go around the first curve. We have one neighbor guy who is single and works in the cities during the week, who doesn't take very good care of his yard. Our kids went over there to sell candy bars and said the inside of his house is really bad! I don't know if he would feel offended if we would offer to help him out our not?! Other then that our neighborhood hasn't changed too much. It is very pretty out here with the leaves changing color. Posts: 1020 | From: Spicer, MN 56288

Sheleen, At least your fundraisers sound worthwhile. I remember when Dustin was in elementary school he had some that they sold like wrapping paper and stuff like that. Small rolls and very expensive. If they are going to make kids to these things, they need to let them sell things people like to buy. I assume the candy bars were for Boy Scouts. That is usually a big hit with people. I don't know why more groups don't sell those pizzas, they sell themselves. Hope all is well with you and your family.
