Do any or all of you also SELL concessions? We've done it different ways. Last year, a generous parent who owns a restaurant, donated a hot dog-chips-drink lunch for all 400 children so there was no food for sale. One other local school, though, sells hot dogs, nachos, snow cones, drinks, etc. and makes a fund raiser out of it. Just wondering how common that is. They use tickets instead of cash.
We either do freezer pops or juice drinks. A lot of parents send treats that day as well. When I was younger, my school rented a fountain drink machine and every child got soda and I don't think it was very expensive.
The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life. --Anne Morris
AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR DURING THE DAY THE SCHOOL HOLDS FIELD DAY WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES FOR ALL GRADES. THE PTA SPONSORS A TREAT FOR THE SCHOOL. IN THE PAST (BEFORE MY INVOLVEMENT)TREATS HAVE RANGED FROM A CONCESSION STAND ITEMS OF CHIPS, CANDY, SODA ETC. FOR A SMALL FEE. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS WE HAVE HAD FREE SNOWCONES OR FREEZER POPS. PERSONALLY I LIKE TO OFFER SOMETHING FREE, WE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WITHOUT MONEY TO SPEND WHEN THERE WAS A CONCESSION STAND.WHAT DO YOU DO?
