Box Top Programs
Here's an article I found on PTO Today about these programs.
http://www.ptotoday.com/pto-today-articles/article/55-rating-the-clip-and-save-fundraisers
Seems like maybe more isn't always better based on feedback here. And the key seems to be promoting what we're collecting for and and making it fun. I like the idea of keeping in place what we're already doing - and maybe adding one or two really worthwhile programs in addition if we can find them.
Sarah suggested one that multi-tasks. One collection point that will take several different items - that might be worth looking into...

First Day of School Staff Breakfast
Last year we did a breakfast for the staff on the first day of school. We'll need to get that organized again. Last year I headed it up, and I'm happy to do so again, but I'll need volunteers to help get food ready, come setup, and come in before lunch to clean up.
If you can think of anyone who'd be willing to help, please let me know. Last year we did:
Breakfast Burritos (scrambled eggs in a crockpot, sausage links, salsa, cheese, chopped sweet peppers, tortillas in a crockpot)
Cut fruit (melons/grapes)
Bagels
Juice
I'll also check through my email to see who helped out last year, and I'll put together an info sheet on this event so we'll have a template for events throughout the year.

Volunteer Recruitment/Recognition
I was thinking more this morning about getting folks to volunteer for their 2 hours, and what we can do to encourage folks to volunteer even more than that. We talked last night about rewards for the volunteers with the highest number of hours, but I also want to be fair to folks who maybe have day jobs and aren't able to put in as many hours as say, a stay at home parent.
What if we highligted a 'Volunteer of the Month' on our new website? Not based on the quantity of their work, but the quality of their assistance. For that matter we could do a 'Teacher of the Month' as well. We could do a little profile of them and their child, even let the kids nominate them maybe?
Thoughts?
