Need a new fundraiser? Getting bored of the same fruit sale? Cheese sale? Silent auction? The list goes on and on.
Agriculture teachers may be the most creative educators when it comes to fundraising…and we need to be. Between conventions, camps, judging trips and scholarships, agriculture teachers and FFA advisors need to be able to fund the immense amount of opportunities it provides for its members!
I’ve almost made it! Summer is just around the corner and I’m so ready to be DONE!
We have our sights focused on getting to summer break and we forget that our jobs are often a year-round role.
Often times as agriculture teachers and FFA advisors you have to get creative to FIT it all in!
You are COACHES for CDE and LDE teams.
You are PROJECT MANAGERS for FFA activities.
You are TRAVEL AGENTS for trips.
Does this sound familiar? Your officers came up with AMAZING activities at your Summer Officer Retreat! They were excited. They were motivated. They were organized.
And now you’re rounding the mid-year mark of the school year and your officers are missing deadlines, dropping the ball and are falling apart at the seams!
So your students have come up with some great activities at your officer retreat! They spent the whole first semester making a great plan for the activities. They have met in their committees, made a supply list, and created a budget.
But this year’s fundraising did not go well! You can’t afford to do these activities but know it’s going to CRUSH your students if you tell them all their planning and innovative ideas were for nothing!
