It is time to make a plan for our Terry Fox Drive.
Winning the Forms contest is meaningless if we don't follow it up with another great performance.
Lets brainstorm a class plan to raise money for this important event and again enhance the reputation of 87.
Any ideas? Any leaders?

maybe we can all raise at least 15 bucks
ReplyDeleteMe, Thamil, Vinay and Anurag made a plan that we would combine forces and try to fundraise in our neihgbhorhoods. What do you think Mr Cheney?
ReplyDeletewe could in recess go with Cheney and go and try to do the fundraiser.
ReplyDeletei think we should get into groups like tabish if you live in a different region you can fundraise there and we can fundraise in our own neighbour hoods so we can put all the money togeher and choose a representitive to smash a pie in youre face :D
ReplyDeleteWe can all try to raise atleast $20 per person so that we can have a total of $420 and that should be enough to beat Ms.Merraro. Could I voulenteer for being a leader?
ReplyDeleteWhoops Stanley and Rohan as well...

ReplyDelete@Thamil
ReplyDeleteStraight up
@ tushar
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean?
@ stanley
ReplyDeletesounds like a lot....
but how much did the winning class make last year?
@stanley yea we should do that.$20 would be pretty easy and the least we can give to the fundraiser.
ReplyDeletei agree with stanley
ReplyDeleteya how much money did the winners get last year
ReplyDelete@ The Sauce Boss I totally agree with your idea but we do need to raise the most money in the whole school. Who ever brings the most money gets to throw a pie in Mr.Cheney's face!!
ReplyDeletewe should raise as much money as we can.....i just want to beat mrs.merraro's class!
ReplyDelete@prabhjot don't mind that comment it was nonsense.
ReplyDeletewell i guess we can do the same things we always do but this time work more harder.We dont want to annoy our neibhourhood but if someone doesnt answer the door or says i dont have money today, go to their house again tomorrow.terry said I'm not a dreamer, and I'm not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to.
ReplyDeleteIf he believes that a mircale can happen we should believe to its doesnt hurt to be belieber!!! :P lol i mean believer. IF we can try our best we might be able to raise more than the other grade.7's
I HEARD FROM MY FRIEND THAT IS IN MS.MERRAROS CLASS THAT MS.MERRAO ALREADY STARTED COLLECTING MONEY EVEN BEFORE WE HAD THE ASSEMBLEY SO WE GOTTA HURRY!!!! lol :P :P
we all should try our best in doing anything and tulsi said we should have like a mini dollar sotre thing so we can raise money for our class i wount mind to sit out at lunch and sell stuff we can do mini loot bags with candy in it or we can do like raffle's and there is like 2 or 3 winners and they win a a stuffed toy or even a bag filled with stuff from the dollar store im not lying but people will buy it i sat ourside last year and sold raffle tickets ant we rasied over 60$ because people wanted to win the stuffed animal
we can get some people to bake a few small items to sell n im sure people love to eat a few snacks before they go to lunch
ReplyDelete@ pizza agreed
ReplyDeleteOkay I got a plan! We should get paired up with a buddy and go get money from people around the hood! For example: Me and Abeeshan. we can both get around our hood!
ReplyDelete@ cobra spice ur idea up so people will open their doors n donate but cause of last years murder that some one came knocking on their door n the lady got stabbed so she died. yes its old but some people will remember that insiddent so u gottgive more detail.
ReplyDeleteHow many people are in our class?
ReplyDelete@ tabish around 25...
ReplyDelete@ anurag good idea, but i dont think a lot of people would want a few kids asking for money at the same time.
if everyone is together, you will get less money per person.
if we go alone, there is a better chance t get more money for each person.
Yeah im probably gonna partner up with Vinay and go around fundraising and i think we should ask our aunts and uncles and "hustle" them for money because family usually gives and the elderly cause saom of them say since theyre gonna pass on theyll donate theyre money too cancer help and what not
ReplyDelete@Blackcobra325: i agree we can pair up but when u knock on the door only some people will give both of you guys money some people will only give one of u guys so i think its not a bad idea but like yeaa ...
ReplyDeleteI think each person person should at least fundraise 10-20 dollars per person
ReplyDeletepizza is a good idea
ReplyDeletehow about a school sale or an auction
ReplyDelete@ STANLEY $20 IS WAY TO MUCH
ReplyDeletehow about $5 dollars
ReplyDelete25 x 5 = $125
well we only have 21
ReplyDeleteless sell old unwanted junk for $2 or more
ReplyDeletei wouldn't say junk just unwanted stuff
ReplyDelete@ sana and abeeshan
ReplyDeletegood idea!
@neha did your friends tell u how much they raised i wanna beat mrs.merraro"s class too.
ReplyDeletegoing around house to house fundraising is high risk. Do not do that alone.
ReplyDeleteI think we should do something in the school.
2-5$ per student is good. you will learn how hard it is to collect from people. Everybody wants to contribute but seldom DO contribute.
I collected 10 per student for the food drive last year. It was tough to get, but it did get done.
some sort of sale is a great way to raise class money. great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI still have a plan, but really looking for you to make a plan, take the lead, and take ownership and do this YOURSELF...FOR YOURSELF.
ReplyDeleteIts NOT about beating classes. Its about being positive members of our community. We want to be the people we talk about in the fiction world. The type of people that do the right things for the right reasons
Thanks Mr Cheney for the boost!
ReplyDeleteYea Mr Cheney! Were doing this for Terry Fox NOT for us to beat classes!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the class sale.
ReplyDeleteI know as a student I don't like to buy things from other students, So is there any way to get the teachers involved?
ReplyDelete@ tabish
ReplyDeletei agree
@ mrcheney
ReplyDeletehow about we sell chocolate??
@ tabish ya good idea
ReplyDelete@malav but you have to buy it to
ReplyDelete@ malav how are we going to get the chocolate
ReplyDeleteThats the problem we can't just ask the school to give us chocolate to sell
ReplyDeleteWe should sell cookies to the others.
ReplyDeletesomething easy to sell is best...package of cookies, freezies!
ReplyDeleteThere may not be enough time to sell for this fundraiser.
still nobody volunteered to be our Team Leader for Terry Fox
ya good idea tushar!!
ReplyDeletefresh baked cookies!
Baked, is tough because of food allergies.
ReplyDeleteStill no Leader and no plan.
ReplyDelete@ SanaN Mrs.Merraro's class started to bring in $10 already almost every student from that class brought money.
ReplyDelete@Mr Cheney I think Stanley should be our leader because he voulenteered to be our leader! If we had a vote then I would choose Stanley
ReplyDelete@ mr cheney im pretty sure stanley siad he would lead....
ReplyDelete@ Mr.cheney why don't you tell us your plan and they we can probably see what else we can do
ReplyDelete@ tabish i don't think the school will allow us to sell chocolates to raise money or maybe Mrs.Jackson would because we're doing it for a good cause
If Stanley wants it, then he is IT.
ReplyDeletelets begin with a basic goal of %100 participation of $3 from each student.
this would produce $ 63
lets start small and work our way up.
I think you will discover that taking a lead and making a difference is A LOT more difficult then you anticipate.
moving people into action from talk is a challenging task
lets see how long it takes to get every student to bring in the money...assuming that we can reach that basic goal.
This is the tiny hinge on a big door.
ReplyDelete@mr cheney its easy we can sell raffle tickets so people can win some stuffed toys. if not that then we can sell like chips at costco they are like 12.00 dollars for a box of 50 (well it was 12 when i bought it ) people will buy that . umm we can sell CANDY everyone loves candY!!! costco is also having a sale cause of Halloween THERE I GOT IT WE CAN MAKE HALLOWEEN LOOT BAGS WITH CANDY AND CHIPS EVEN THOUGHT ITS A MONTH AWAY WE CANS TILL DO IT ! !!
ReplyDeleteHalloween fundraiser is great. Maybe for another cause later in October.
ReplyDeleteHowever, before we take money from others we need to raise money ourselves.
its hypocritical to expect others to give us money if we as a team are unable or unwilling to contribute ourselves.
We need to be wired tight 1st!!!
who is in for bringing in $3?
ReplyDeleteLets find out if we are all talk or all action!
okay im in....
ReplyDeleteseems simple enough,
and mr cheney,
so we work our way up? so as soon as we all bring $3 we bring $4, and so on?
I think we can make like a yard or school sale and that everybody can bring in things that they don't need or just don't want. Just like last year everyone was selling things like microscopes. Or we can just bring in like 5 bucks each.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as we bring 3, then we start other ways to raise money!
ReplyDeletei think Nehas idea is pretty good but if weer not commited to bringing $3 we cant accomplish alot of stuff so if we bring the $3 we can use it to buy the chips so we get alot of money
