Saturday, sale hours 11:00 am - 5:30 pm raised $181 (with a 50% sale from 3pm on)
Sunday, sale hours Noon - 3:30 pm raised $61 (all items were $0.25)
Sale contributions came from several preschool families, including Wilson, Lenss, Jurasin, Dawson, and Ward/Hunt. I think someone is missing from this list, because we didn't ask people to leave their family name when dropping off items at the sale location.
Set-up volunteers represented the Dawson, Ward/Hunt, and Devine families.
Sale volunteers were Jeanne, Linda, & Patrick Ward, Ken Dawson, Athenna Schlobohn, Faith Devine, and Chris Hunt.
TO PUT OUR EFFORTS IN PERSPECTIVE:
$500 is over half of the $900 school-wide September fundraising goal and it is only four days into the month
$270 is the cost of one parent/toddler slot for the whole school year
$630 is the cost of one preschool slot for the whole school year
PLEASE NOTE: The primary application of funds raised is not toward new scholarships, but as a supplement to the monthly revenue paid by currently enrolled families. This supplement constitutes a partial scholarship that all families receive since our monthly tuition ($30 parent toddler & $70 preschool) only pays a portion of the full cost of running our program.
Ideally, Raindrop Preschool would end each fiscal year with a significant amount of funds dedicated toward funded scholarships to be awarded at the beginning of the next school year, or as needed. The 2008-2009 fiscal year ended with a scholarship surplus of approximately $630, however we must always hold funds in reserve until we can be assured of an adequate enrollment in respect to our minimum monthly program expenses of approximately $2000. As of 9/2/09, $560 has been awarded during the 2009-2010 school year as partial scholarships to two preschool families.
Way to start the year Raindrop families!
