Nearly all schools do fundraising at least once a year. Many schools do
fundraising activities two, three or four times. The number of times
your child's school does fundraising depends on many different factors
and varies from school to school.

your children safe? It makes sense that the school's objective is to raise as
much money as possible. However, your child's safety is not worth the cost.
There are several ways to ensure your child's safety as well as optimizing fund
raising money.
The most important thing to remember is to never let your child go door to door
alone. If you have the time to go with your child, this is a very good way to
collect orders. If you don't have the time or ability to go with your child and
know an older teenager that can accompany them, offer to buy them a batch of
cookies for going with your child.
Another way to keep your child safe and still collect orders is to talk to
family members and co-workers. Take your child's catalog and order form to
work. Many times, you can collect orders that way. Another option is to ask
family members to take it to their work as well.
These are only a couple of ideas to help your child collect orders for their
school fundraiser and keep them safe. Be creative and you can probably come up
with more. The possibilities are endless!
