Tsunami fundraiser with my 6,7,8 class!
Our school decided when we returned to classes after the x-mass break to start a penny drive to raise money for the Red Cross for the Tsunami relief effort.
We only have a totally of 50 students in my school from K-8 so it’s not like we were going to raise thousands. I decided that my homeroom class could use an incentive. I told them that if they raised $50 I would shave my head. If they raised $100 I would shave my head and beard (which I’ve had for 14 years) and if they raised $300 I would shave my head, my beard and my eyebrows. They had 4 school weeks to reach their targets. Well, as of 2pm this after noon they had just over $100 and I lost my hair and beard! The newspaper was there to take pics. As soon as I get some of the before and after I’ll post them!
My next fundraiser will be in March for the SPCA. I’ll be doing a snake show at my school called “An evening with snakes.”. We’ll be charging admission and take Polaroids with some of my snakes. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the local SPCA.
Cheers,
Trevor
