Being a school bus driver, I am in contact with an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school every day. For the most part, everyone seems to be quite nice that I have to deal with, although there have been times when I was substitute driving to one school where the vice principal seemed to always be in a bad mood!
Anyway, being in constant contact with the elementary school (at least four times a day!) they have been trying to get me to get involved in their fund raising efforts with the school pop program. The program is a good program, the participants enroll their credit cards in the program and a portion of their purchase goes to the sponsored school. It is easy to enroll in, and painless to participate in. I’d much rather do that than buy junk that I don’t need just to help the school raise money! You don’t have to dedicate the money to a public school, you can also use Schoolpop to raise money for private schools if that is where you prefer to have your money go!
