Christmas or Holiday Fundraisers may not be at the top of the list during this time of year as we enter the busy holiday season. Many schools are focusing on studying for midterms, churches are assembling their plays, and everyone else is getting things wrapped up before the Christmas break; pun intended.

Yes, witches and ghouls, it's that time of year again; the leaves are starting to change, days are getting shorter, and we are starting to get back into the school rhythm. The first month of school is out of the way and this gives our teachers the opportunity to really look at their budget and supplies and realize what they’ll need for Fall.

The students of Edmonton-area school using their Valentine’s Day fundraiser to help those in Haiti devastated by the recent earthquakes in their area. The students were originally going to be exchanging candy grams, but due to a recent change brought on by the students the fundraiser has been changed to Hearts for Haiti.
Starting today (1/20) students will be selling hearts for $1 where the buyer can write a message on it and it will hang in the school’s gymnasium. All the money collected will be donated to the Red Cross for the relief fund for Haiti.

Silicon Valley’s four-week “Stepping Up to Algebra” summer school program helped boost algebra scores 20%. The program accepts eighth graders from neighboring school districts and preps them for algebra in high school. The foundation also brings in people who are currently employed in the work force and who use algebra as part of their daily life.

Many of us are familiar with “Night at the Museum” movies. When it came time for the annual fundraising event at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, they decided to hold an event where people could visit the museum and watch some of the displays come to life as they have watched in the movie.
The museum enlisted the help of the local high school theatre students who helped pull off a successful night of fundraising. Over a thousand people attended the event which raised more than $20,000!

Bishop Savaryn Elementary School had great success on their unique school fundraising idea. The school, inspired by their 6th grade student Julian Alex, decided to create and sell Braille Christmas Cards for $1 each.
Julian is unable to see through the center of his eyes making it impossible to read print. He was initially the only one at the school learning Braille, but soon other students and friends followed his footsteps. Currently there is a whole Braille club at the school.

When children at the Family Development Center are in need of supplies such as boots, coats, and toys for Christmas, the kids from the Silverhouse (a small learning community where students learn “survival skills”) at Roseburg High School know how the chip in!
This year the students raised $2,400 running laps around the schools track for pledges. One student ran 46 laps in the cold 30-degree weather. The 11.5-mile trip didn’t seem to be much of a challenge for the freshman however, for she was quoted calling the jog, “A good work out.”
