Let Everyone Know!
Make announcements in class, in the morning announcements, in the school newsletter, and on the school website. Put signs and our posters, with dates for meetings and deadlines, in the hallways or at school sponsored events. Talk to other teachers, get an excited parent involved, and use the resources at your school to be creative.
Hold Informational Meetings!
Have a meeting during lunch or after school for students. Then have a meeting in the evening for parents. We will be sending a presentation and cool photos that provide lots of information about our trips. Whenever possible we will do a presentation at your school. At the informational meeting, you will give parents student packets with all the necessary forms. It may be a good idea to have everyone that is interested sign in a sheet with their phone number and email address. That way you if you do not hear from them you can check back with them or send them reminders about deadlines.
Optional Fundraising.
Now that you have a group together, create a plan for fundraising and get students involved. Parent volunteers can also be very helpful. There are lots of ways to fundraise- organize bake sales, car washes, or you can work with an outside organization and sell products like cookie dough, candles, among others. There are plenty of resources on the web or you can check out http://www.school-fundraisers.com to sell products. Talk to other teachers at your school and administrators and see what has worked well in the past.
