I really admire your feelings for your English teacher (you should have paid more attention in class though!).

A petition CAN help get a school policy changed … but first I’d respectively ask the principal for a copy of the policy that says you can’t raise money for employees! For one, that’s kind of odd; for two, you’d need it for your petition.

Second, you do not need to have just registered voters sign it — you can have everyone sign it. But, you should carry two … one for the voters and one for everyone else. Also, you will need to have your petition written MUCH BETTER than what you posted here. Have another teacher help you if necessary.

Now, take the petition to the school board and ask to be put on their meeting agenda. You’ll probably have to call the district office a few weeks before the meeting.

This will take awhile, but you may get something done!

In the meantime, you can probably leave your boxes in places around town where the students/faculty will see them, but not on school property.

Good luck!

First of all you can’t change a school policy through signatures, it doesn’t work that way (assuming you’re in a public school). The decision to change that rule would be the school board or other governing body. Secondly if you really are going to collect signatures in favor of changing this rule you have to do it professionally, people must be registered voters (meaning you and your friends don’t count) and you must have some contact information on the petition so all the signatures can be verified. The best way to change this though is by talking to school board members who are the ones with the say in changing the rules.

Also you don’t have a very good English teacher “For future and hopefully a present references, we are asking potation to be able to contribute to a non profit causes or organizations for school employees in need.” Yes, you should spend some time with her outside school.

You definitely have a solid position here, and something worth fighting for…however it is unfortunate that you are going about it in a way that will not yield the desired results. You would have to appeal to the school board, because it is very likely that is not just a policy for your school…but for the whole district. Ask your parents to help you pursue this if you really believe it is worth fighting for. I hope that you are successful.

only 700? isnt it usually $1000+ or something like that? and u can’t POSSIBLY get to England in a a couple of hours. I mean, I’m sorry for her loss, but I’m just trying to be realistic, and I’m afraid u and ur friend dont have the time to raise, even $400

I can’t really help you with the paragraph part but I just wanted to say can’t you just raise the money out of school instead? Or near your school so then technically your not in the school grounds so you won’t be breaking any rules?

If u have schopol news ask them t put it on der and sell donuts or something- remember u can make a difference

try explaining the situation to some of the other teachers and maybe they can pitch and maybe even a few parents i dont think you have time to do some sort of a fundraiser

honey too much to read

have a lemonade stand to raise money , thanks for the pint and good luck!!
