Eaton Elementary Rocket Romp

Sydnie's school holds one fundraiser each year call the "Rocket Romp"

I really like this fund raiser, for the fact that the kids have to be involved not just the parents going to everyone they know to buy stuff they really do not want or need. The best thing about this is that 100% of the money goes directly to the school.




The Rocket Romp is an 3K event where the students collect donations for their participation. All the students will walk/run around the track and we had a DJ on the field playing music to motivate the students. (I sure could use the DJ every morning at 5am when I am walking my 3 miles)

The ROMP as two goals: to raise much needed money for the school, and to promote physical fitness.

I went this year with Sydnie's class and had a great time. Sydnie even ran two laps and walked 5 more with me... she may pass PE after all!

Way to go Sydnie!!! Here are some web sites with instructions on how to make bows.....

These are both pretty good websites. But I like the first the best since they have lots more instrutions for all kinds of bows.
The second I like cause of all the ribbon and supplies you can buy from it. Good luck!!!

What a fun way to earn money. Steven's school is building a greenhouse so they can sell tomatoes for fundraising. Guess who is building the greenhouse--yup, Steven and few other teachers, but the students get to grow the tomatoes. Love ya.
