Fundraising For School Prom

I would suggest they ask whether it would be possible to get permission to organise a stall at any school fairs (Xmas, Summer etc) and events. If they can raise a bit of a float then pocket money toys are always a good one before Xmas - Tobar is quite good for stock but they can look in pound shops as well and see if they can make a bit of a margin. Lemonade stall in the summer?

Personally before anyone did anything I would be encouraging them to 'cost' the cost of having the prom - if the amount needed to be raised less the a reasonable cost for tickets is unachieveable then they need to have a really hard think as to whether they should go ahead in the first place.

However I would seriously be thinking about whether they should be supported anyway - this has all the danger of a few in the year getting lumbered in organising events to subsidise the event when perhaps they would be better off concentrating on their studies

(sorry if that makes me sound like a party pooper!)
