Gift
In A Jar Fundraiser
This
Jar Sale idea from a reader would be great for school
or church...
The
school my daughter attended up until Grade 6 has an
interesting thing they do around Easter. They have
a Jar Sale. They ask every child to bring in 2 jars
or containers of some type, with just a few little
items in it that would appeal to kids. Then each child
is entitled to purchase one jar for $1. The money
goes towards school activities. By bringing in 2 jars
each, there should be enough for all.
What
I put in them is some Easter grass to cushion the
bottom, then I put in things like nail polish, play
jewelry, sidewalk chalk, skipping ropes, etc for girls,
and for the boys, I get those little Matchbox type
cars, sidewalk chalk, wrapped candy, yo-yos, things
like that.
That
is just an example of some of the interesting things
I have heard about. It's a cool idea and it does go
over really well. The stuff in the baskets or jars
is strictly inexpensive stuff. I used to crochet scrunchies
to put in them too.
