And there have been that many fundraisers.
Flowers.
Walk-a-thon.
Wrapping paper, candles, chocolates.
Maybe four, if you count the book fair that will be coming later this month.
We believe in supporting the school, of course, (which is, remember, a public school and thus already supported by our taxes) but are opting for a flat-out donation instead of junk we don't want. At least that way, the school gets 100% of the money instead of just 40%. Though, Sis has her eyes on the gradated star cookie cutters so we could make a stacked cookie tree. That's actually useful. Otherwise, not so much.
We actually had the kids call family members to ask for money for the walk-a-thon, just so they participate somewhat. Beyond the actual 30 minutes of walking in circles. If they raise a certain sum each, they get a t-shirt. So, that's our goal.
Besides, all the funds go to support arts and supplies, programs and such.
It is, of course, too bad that the school isn't fully supported by public funds, but that's a pipe dream these days, and so we help.
And will probably be helping quite often from the pattern thus far established.
