Objectives Students Keywords Earth day, fund-raiser, seeds, trees, plants, environment Materials Needed None Lesson Plan This project should be completed over several lessons. The teacher decides the length of time needed to complete the project; the length of the project depends on the ages and abilities of the students. You may want to ask parents or members of your school's PTA/PTO for assistance on this project. Lesson 1 Discuss the meaning of the word fund-raiser and different types of fund-raising activities. Write students' ideas on the board. Ideas might include a bake sale, a used book sale, or a walk-a-thon.
Extractions: Innovative teachers turn fundraising programs into learning opportunities When fourth and fifth graders from a Florida elementary school wanted to raise money for a Christmas charity project, their teacher saw it as an opportunity to illustrate real life lessons in citizenship and business management. Armed with cardboard boxes carrying ornaments, gifts and baked goods, Bill Snydor's 22 students went to each classroom in the school to sell their homemade wares, making change, keeping track of inventory and recording their progress daily on a chart of expenses, sales and profits. In two weeks, the Broward County students sold 1,700 items earning $1,200 for the Kids in Distress program. On the other side of the country, California teachers Bonnie McKenna and Sue DeHart shared a dream for a living science lab. So, with the support of their principal, they teamed up to create a student-run business on campus selling giant cookies one day a week after lunch.

Extractions: Last month In fact, let's initially expose these similarities, characteristics typically found among development folk. Fund raisers tend to be social animals, gregarious "people" people who've mastered small talk and cocktail prattle. We're never comfortable with dead air; we don't let air die in the first place. We greet you with a firm handshake, make good eye contact, pretend to listen, nod approvingly, and remember your name. We're quick to make friends and, at least professionally, have a wide circle of acquaintances. We love celebrations and splashy parties, move effortlessly from one conversation to the next, know our golf handicaps, and keep up with current events, on campus and off. We dress well, speak well, and appear consummately put together. Yet we have certain qualities that distinguish us from one another. Join me, then, in a tour of the offices. We'll meet your potential colleagues and gain a deeper appreciation of each function.

Extractions: HOTLINE By Alison Stein Wellner The Chronicle' s Philanthropy Careers asks its readers to submit questions about job hunting, recruiting, and management challenges in the nonprofit world. In our monthly advice column, we respond to some of your inquiries with tips about resources and wisdom from experts in the field. Q. I've heard that some months are better than others for fund-raising efforts. Which ones? A. November and December are the most wonderful time of the year for many fund raisers, for two reasons: because the holiday season inspires a wave of warm and altruistic feelings, and because many people rush to make tax-deductible contributions before December 31. "We always have best results in November and December," says Mary Ellen Long, chief development officer at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, in Indiana. "We ask in November and the gifts roll in in December early in the month as people are feeling philanthropic, later in the month as they want to give more for tax deductions," she says. Glenn McKinney, director of development at the Bowery Mission, a rehabilitation program for homeless people in New York, echoes Ms. Long's observation that donors who give later in the season are often prodded by tax incentives, but says that that donors are also often inspired by the holiday season. "I see people respond in even greater numbers during November because of Thanksgiving," he says. "It's quite encouraging to see that donors are more motivated by the desire to feed hungry people than by receiving a tax break."

Extractions: Prepared by Hilary J. Schmidt, Ph.D. Charge To develop and implement a plan for Basic Integrated Support and Resources for Education, (One Stop Shopping), to enable and cultivate excellence in health science education. Overview of Scope and Outcomes Based on the Deans Response to Strategic Planning, this charge encompasses three related tasks: To create a system that will consolidate delivery of all education support services including logistics, faculty development, design and development of new resources and media, student assessment, course and program evaluation, and education research. To finalize a concept for a Clinical Performance Assessment Facility to support all Columbia University Medical Center needs. To develop a plan for expanding our capabilities for using simulations, robotics, mannequins, virtual settings and other forms of simulation in the service of teaching, learning and assessment.

Extractions: "In the 1990s, Columbia Health Sciences moved from a destitute state to a state when we can plan," Dr. Fischbach said at the meeting's start. "The scope of our effort is enormous but our hope is that research, education, and patient care can all advance together." Research Education Lack of space also impairs teaching, Dr. Silverstein said, and the committee recommended the immediate construction of a Clinical Performance Assessment facility. Columbia uses the Mount Sinai School of Medicine performance assessment facility once a year, at great expense, and only for third-year medical students. A state-of-the-art assessment center at Health Sciences could be used throughout a student's medical education and residency to assess performance with standardized patients, and could be expanded with mannequins, simulators, robotics, and virtual technology. In addition, more classrooms, social space, and housing are needed. Patient Care Space Final copies of the committee's reports will be available at the end of the summer and town meetings will be held to discuss the recommendations.

Extractions: To be sure, wealth is for the most part a good thing, and the description above may be more stereotype than fact. Wealth alone can't ruin a child's chances for a happy, productive life. "But raising children of wealth while instilling in them a sense of ambition and social responsibility can be a challenge," says Jon Gallo, an attorney in Los Angeles, co-author of Silver Spoon Kids: How Successful Parents Raise Responsible Children and co-founder of the Gallo Institute, which offers families and their advisors workshops on the psychology of money. Bring the Topic to the Table The first step is for parents to talk to their children about the value of a dollar. For many, however, that in itself is a disquieting task. "Many wealthy parents grew up in households where money was never discussed," says Charles Collier, senior philanthropic advisor at Harvard University and the author of Wealth in Families

Fund Raising Ideas At Kitchen Garden Seeds planning Your fund Raiser Setting the Prices for Your fund Raiser who promotesustainable cuisine by teaching their children, supporting local farmers http://www.kitchengardenseeds.com/fundraiser.html
Extractions: Thank you for considering a fund raiser with John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds. We have worked with many local garden clubs, school groups, churches and human service agencies on fund raisers with our Dutch flower bulbs. Finally, in response to many requests, we are offering a seed fund raising program. Feedback from hundreds of non-profit groups indicates that their fund raisers have been well-received and successful. In large part, their success has been attributed to the fact that the plant material is of the highest quality and product selections are not common varieties. The process is simple, even fun, and takes on a momentum and energy of its own. Our line of vegetable, herb and flower seeds is ideally suited to kitchen gardens across the United States. We offer over 300 exceptional varieties that have been selected due to their horticultural vitality; superior growing characteristics; exceptional flavor; superior cooking performance and unusual color, texture or shape. Our seeds have been sourced from the best seed growers found in the US, Europe, Israel and Japan. Scheeper's quality standards ensure the highest quality of seed in terms of germination rates, purity, lack of seed-borne pathogens and commitment to not carrying treated nor genetically modified seed. There are many fun ways to heighten community interest and media attention to your fund raiser. If you are going to sell "The Essential Tomato Garden" collection, convince your local newspaper to hold a pasta sauce recipe contest. If you are going to sell pumpkin seeds, sponsor a pumpkin carving contest before Halloween.
