School Fundraisers
Valerie: What’s this?
A.J.: It’s a note from Rachel’s school. It’s about the next fundraiser.
Valerie: Oh no, not another one. What is it this time – a raffle 1, car wash, or spaghetti dinner?
A.J.: It’s none of those things. It’s a combination bake sale and craft sale. Parents are supposed to donate baked goods and handmade items.
Valerie: This is crazy. Every month there’s something else. Last month, it was a candy sale. I had to hit up everybody at work, and that’s on the tail of raffle tickets the month before. It’s like this every year.
A.J.: I know, we already donated a lot of things to the rummage 2 sale last semester and gift certificates for the silent auction 3 two months ago. With two kids in two different schools, I feel like we never get a breather.
Valerie: I know and there’s more. Brian’s school is asking parents to buy a brick that will be part of a new school building and our names will be engraved 4 on it.
A.J.: You’re kidding, right? One more fundraiser and my name will get engraved, all right – on my tombstone!
