Sunflower Fund
Bandana Day

Sunday 6 May 2012

Ideas for activities for these causes

So I have been thinking about things we can do at our school to raise awareness and money for the organisations and here is what I have come up with:

For Jeans for Genes, we can have the denim diaries like last year, in addition to a modelling contest where students customise a pair of jeans by putting creative things about Jeans for Genes and model it. The jeans which look the best (we will have a panel of jury judging this!) will receive a prize. I can tell the students this term and then next term close to the date of Jeans for Genes day, we will have a show. The students can take my help or the teachers help during the after school tutorial sessions I am planning to hold. This is along with a civvies day on Friday 5 October 2012 where everyone will wear jeans with their school shirts. There is a possibility of bake sales specific to Jeans for Genes. 

For Sunflower fund, I was thinking let students customise a bandana that they buy from us or make one from scratch which will be judged also and the bandana which shows the most creativity will win a prize as well as the runner ups. For this too, there will be after school sessions where students can come to use any of the art supplies or get our help. The sessions will be during this term and the students will have the opportunity to work on the bandanas during the holidays. There will be of course, the bandanas from the organisation itself if they still sell them. Another idea that has just cropped in my mind is that of customising candles or making candles with the colour scheme of yellows, oranges and reds and we can sell them. 

These ideas are very rough and I have just thought about them, let me know if you think they are feasible or if you have any other ideas!

Till next week or sooner, this is me signing off. :)

    1. Well, we do have an expert on candle making and it is fun, provided we have enough students helping out... Any other ideas that you might have Talia?
