For the next three years our PTO has a contract agreement with Jaxco. We are getting 50% for most of our items sold (normally, they offer 45%). In addition, if our school somehow does not make 10% more in gross sales than last year's $18,900, we will get an additional 5% profit added in (for a 55% profit on most items sold).
No matter what you sell please know that your hard working effort will provide this school with things (math/reading accelerator programs, other educational programs, various school equipment, etc.) that is not attainable via the school administration budget.

Each year our school earns a little more than $1,200 from the sales of these coupon books. The cost of a coupon book is $20 and our profit is $12 (60% profit). Also, for every book purchased, $1 dollar goes to our very own Board of Education to help with their budgetary needs.
Last year (spring of 2007) we had our first annual Spring Fling and boy was it a success! Kids by the hundreds with their parents and friends came out for an afternoon of food and fun. Wow, and the silent-auctions were a big hit, too. All in all, our school raised another $7,000 to complete the year.
This year we hope to raise $14,000. That's right, $14,000! To do this our Spring Fling committee has already begun work to improve on the FUN as well as the FUNdRAISING efforts. Tell everyone you know about this because it will twice as fun as last year!
