Goals TO RAISE MONEY FOR OUR SCHOOL The Schmucker PTO funds all kinds of important and fun things at school like field trips. Each of these field trips typically costs over $1,000! So, the PTO needs help raising money for the school. They’d rather fundraise creatively than have students go door-to-door selling stuff. Plus, the school gets 100% of what we bring in! TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF ABE LINCOLN Very few Americans showed respect, made a difference, and set the bar high like Abraham Lincoln did. Plus, he demonstrated a growth mindset before the concept of growth mindset was ever coined! We should all learn from his life of dignity, patriotism, and service. TO HAVE FUN Raising money isn’t the only way to earn points for your team. Get out some toothpicks, Play-dough, or aluminum foil and make a log cabin. Tell your senator or president what’s been on your mind. Chanel your inner actor or actress and recite the Gettysburg address. There are plenty of ways to earn points and have fun doing it.
