What is school: Definition and 183 Discussions

Well, it's almost time for my FUNdraiser! I've gotten some great ideas by going through some old threads and files. I finished my cookbooks & spices flyer, I used an April OOF and added a coupon to the top of it. I'll also be putting stacks of the coupons at the office where parents sign in and...

My 4th show is next Friday! I'm doing a fundraiser for a Montessori Infant Center and need some ideas for recipes that would interest the parents. The kids won't be there but I want to do something that would get the parents into the kitchen with the kids at home. I have the old starter kit...

My daughter's elementary school is having a "bingo night" to raise money for the school. I have told the chairperson that I will make up several (2) prize baskets to donate as well as 1-2 gift certificates (redeemable through me). Here's my questions: Do I send the items in on a show...

I have an opportunity to take part in a vendor event for the schools in our county and I need some help with the paperwork that I want to pass out. This is an event for representatives from the schools and PTA to come and check out vendors that they might want to use for fundraisers and other...

I am doing a show at school in the teachers lounge next month. I am looking for ideas??? It need to be something simple. The teachers are invited just to stop by and eat a little something and place an order. The host is hoping not to be there much more that an hour after school. Any ideas???

I just completed a very successful fundraiser for our school band program. I made packages containing a cover letter, catalogue and outside order forms. I then gave enough packages to the band teacher and asked that each student bring back a minimum of $100.00 in sales by a certain date. We...

I've had quite a few leads who are teachers but they always tell me they just don't have time during the school year but maybe in the summer. Any one out there a teacher who can share how they manage both? I'd love to share your stories/experiences with my potential recruits. Thanks!:D

Hi all, I need some help/advice. I just signed up to do a Holiday Botique at a school on Dec 9th. I have a /poss2 before that, but I have never done any of these before (i'm in ss3). The event organizer suggested that I have merchandise ready to sell(the "fee" is a 20% on sales). Am I...

I need to whip something up.... Don't want to be extravegant, would be nice to make a lot without a ton of work. I need to wrap individual portions too. Last year I made the amazing cobblestone muffins... but I want to make something else. Susan :)

So I called one of my contacts from the Taste of Home cooking school and she wants to do a fundraiser I told her the amopunts she can get and she is so excited. I will have to let you all know how it goes

Hi! This is my first post. Since I am new, I guess I will tell you a little about myself. My name is Lisa and I am from Moore, Oklahoma. GO SOONERS! This is my second time around with Pampered Chef. I sold Pampered Chef for 7 years until I went back to work full-time and I came back to...

I've got a great opportunity to go to a recipe swap with a group of local moms. I just moved to the area, and I'm looking to meet new friends and customers. Plus, this is perfect timing with school starting again! The theme is saving money and fun, quick ways to *jazz* up your lunchboxes...

I want to have a mystery host show for the middle school teachers at the school. I need a recipe that will feed several people. I would like to do this during their free time. What pieces would you carry for show? PLEASE, ideas needed.... Thanks in advance..

I did a booth last year at this - with pretty good success - I am still getting bookings that resulted from shows booked from this - and two led to a recruit. Click here http://www.tasteofhomeschools.com/ read about it - then click on Show Schedule to see if they are coming to your town or...

I was forwarded an email from a Tastefully Simple Consultant today. It sounds like a pretty neat idea. She sells you all the seasonings and TS products you need to prepare several meals to freeze for a flat price which is at a 10% discount. She sends you a grocery list and detailed...

I am doing a fundraiser for a school sports group. I have packets made up with a catalog and order forms. Does anyone have a letter that they put in the packets the kids take home?

The principal's wife at our local Christian School wants to have a PC party for all the teachers and the student's parents. She wants me to emphasize that this is a great way to meet the other parents and teachers. Does anyone have a great invite that I could use?

Just curious how many people work and go to school. My husband works FT and is going back to school. I say great for him. The only thing I don't like about it all is there will be a lot of lonely nights for me. I also work 4 days a week and we have two boys ages 5 & 3. Hopefully my husband...

Hey everybody I need help once again! I have packets made up to mail to schools about doing a fundaiser next year. The packets have info on how our fundraisers work and why they should choose PC for a fundraiser and I included a catalog, but I still need an opening letter, I have no idea what...

I just want to cry...we got 4 inches over night and there is no school today. Man, spring break was supposed to start on Thurs and seems it may have started early, this is so not fair and not a nice thing to do to the Mommies here. Allthough, without PC I would have to take a day off work to...

:confused: Help! Does anyone have any advice for fundraisers?! I have one going with a local christian school (85 kids). One of the moms did a show for me and wanted to do a fundraiser. Apparently the school is only allowed 2 fundraisers a year, so they told this mom to handle it and just...

I sent an e-mail inquiry about this and haven't heard anything back. My son is in his school play and they are selling ad space in the program. Are we allowed to 1. Use the PC logo 2. Put our web addy in a PRINT ad? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I feel like a lost child...I haven't look at this website for awhile (work, vacation, holidays) and I have so much catching up to do! I just got the opportunity to appear at a career day...actually, I would be the only person appearing as they have someone speak/present each...

Help! I'm a new consultant and I've just convinced my children's school to do a fundraiser with The Pampered Chef. The school has a great program coming up in March that they are going to let me have a table at to display the products. I need some suggestions in how to make the flyer. I have...

For some time at my shows, I have been pushing the idea of a Cook-Off as a school fundraiser where maybe the Head Teacher could go up against the Deputy Head. Finally someone has taken me up on this for February. I am going to borrow some products from my director and get both "volunteers" to...

i just have to let you know that the taste of home cooking school was way worth it i had a very empty oct and one show for nov now i have 4 kitchen shows in oct and 5 catalog shows and 3 shows in nov and one catalog show i am really excited :)

The PTA at my son's school informed me of a Holiday Boutique that they have every year as a fundraiser and suggested that I get a table theere. It is $15 for the 3 hours and they are requesting 10% of whatever I sell. SO I thought of submitting this as a fundraiser so they could get 15% from...

Hi Everyone! I know I chatted with some of you about this a while ago- the cooking school is coming to my town. Some of you are having a booth when they come to yours- who did you contact about that? The website doesn't really make it clear. Let me know! It sounds like a great opportunity!

Hi ladies, I was just wondering after reading about doing fundraisers with the schools on how you actually do it. Who do you contact and how it all works. For example when the kids used to sell candy to raise money how would I incorporate PC to do that or do you just do it through...
