You just might be right on the 3% but then again, perhaps all these Rah Rah's, Rappers, Wiggers, Jocks, Moterheads, Skaters, Goody Goody Two Shows will buy a few for themselves. They might not sell, but hopefully the will buy. A sale is a sale..... 1. The Rah, Rah, I love school kids..they will do it but only represent about 3% of the kids.... 2. The Rappers or wiggers...not a chance there too cool to sell stuff..about 20 % of the school population. 3. Jocks...way to busy to sell stuff..about 30% of school kids.. 4. Motorheads...too busy working on there cars..about 5% 5. Skaters...10%...yea right..LOL 5. Everyone else about 22%...they wouldnt want to be caught selling things as is it just not a cool thing to do and most are afraid the other groups will make fun of them.... So I say maybe if you are lucky you will get 5%....

Sam, I don't know how things are done in New Jersey, but I can tell you about the Southeast. School fund-raising is a major, major activity. Last week, I talked to the elementary school principal that I posted about last summer. He has finished with his fundraising this year which came in at $15,000 net to the school. Any school in this state that wants more than the bare necessities (building, personnel, paper) has to do some significant fund-raising. If they can raise money, then they can have landscaping, computers, software, playground equipment, etc. Most fundraising projects involve prizes for the biggest sellers, i.e. the class who sells the most wins something, the 3 biggest salesmen win something, those who sell over a certain amount win something. A smart principal win give up a little of the school's money and use it for prizes. A high school assistant principal I talked to said that cash was the biggest motivator at his school. There is no school that I can think of that would even dream of hassling with a fundraiser if the participation level was 5% as you suggested. Regards, Suzanne
