Also there will be a dinner over the Easter Holidays so details will be coming up soon for that. If you have any suggestions for fundraisers please let me know. We usually have a candy sale but our vendor no longer does the fundraiser candy. We do get two weeks to sell to the school. If you have an idea of what we could sell please let me know. An option is world's finest chocolate.

Nationals News

I would like to have a doughnut fundraiser the morning of the super bowl. However, I need a parent to pick up the doughnuts from Krispy Kreme in Metairie and bring them to the school.

I have also spoken with another large school about us sharing the bus so I can reduce the price. I will keep you updated on that. I am also seeking some sponsors to pay for our travel in full. I will also keep you updated on this.

Spring Fest and our tournament are coming up. Typically each student receives around 100 dollars for each of these fundraisers. Last year our tournament raised 150 per student. I need lots of volunteers for each event. We will be at state the Friday of Spring Fest so I will need at least two parents to volunteer to work the night or four to work and split it up. We run a dunk tank so I need parents to take money and make sure the balls are given out correctly.

I am actively seeking sponsors for different aspects of nationals. If you have any suggestions of buissinesses that might be interested in sponsoring a part of our travel or lodging please let me know so that I can approach them. I do have some letters and presentations put together for these cases. In the past we have been able to raise several thousand dollars through sponsors. With the economy slowly picking back up we are hoping to have better luck this year with the sponsors.
