you know.. change around a few of the names..
& I would think I'm reading about the "Accepted" movie...
All joking aside, I have literally no money to my name.. but I hope that you can get the money for your school. Every one deserved as education.. no matter where it's from. & if you fail at achieving the goal. There's always public school n.n

There's one in Aotearoa that I've known of for some time now smile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamariki_SchoolIn any case, I've no money (I'm currently looking for a job right now) and even if I did, I don't live anywhere near Oregon. In any case, have you thought of trying to get the word out via your district's public access media station? I'm sure many advocates of public access would be willing to help your cause and as long as you have a major cable/satellite company providing your district with TV channels, you should have a public access group around somewhere (it's required by law).

Lady Kira X you know.. change around a few of the names.. & I would think I'm reading about the "Accepted" movie... All joking aside, I have literally no money to my name.. but I hope that you can get the money for your school. Every one deserved as education.. no matter where it's from. & if you fail at achieving the goal. There's always public school n.n funny thing, our school started before that movie was made. for many students public school isn't an option, especially for those going through the graduation process.

Questions --
1) How is it that you guys lack people who are willing to help? You seem to have an entire school full of teachers, students, & student's family's who seem all incredibly dedicated towards helping.
2) What do you mean by "for some people public school isn't an option, especially for those going through the graduation process"? That just doesn't make any sense to me.
I used to live in Oregon, by the way, so I know that their public school system is actually pretty good. I lived in Oregon for 2 & a half years, & literally not ONCE did I EVER here ANYBODY complain about the Public School System there; I also never once knew anybody there who had ever gone to a private school (including a friend of mine whose father owns 11 cars & a private jet), nor did I ever know anybody who didn't graduate from Oregon public high school... & most of the people I knew were the sorts of people you'd expect would never graduate.
... I'm not trying to say you're "wrong" or anything, that would be silly of me. I'm just trying to understand.
3) Why don't they just increase the tuition? I understand that they want to keep the school affordable & open to people from a variety of different economic classes... However, if it's a matter of either raise enough money by raising the tuition or shut down the school entirely, it seems to me like the lesser of the two evils there is quite obvious.

we have around fifty students, and six staff members. we also have parents volunteering, and a council of staff, students, and parents. the problem is, there are only a few people who actually fundraise, there are only eight people fundraising. public school may not have been bad for you, or your friends, but many of our students couldn't stand it, so they went to v.f.s. the students working on the graduation program need to meet different requirements than in most schools, if those students were forced to leave, they would lose all the progress they had made. most of those kids diagnosed with ADD, or ADHD find it relaxing and easy to concentrate at v.f.s. we also have kids come in from other states, and visit from other countries, those kids come because they can't stand public school where they are. we could increase the tuition, but the vast majority of kids couldn't stay if we did, so we'd still have the same issue.

Why are so few people fundraising, & why are you one of the only eight or so people doing so?
Honestly, I feel like, as a student at a private school, you shouldn't have to be in the position you're in right now; that is, your primary concern should be your academic studies, not raising money to keep your school open. It disappoints me that the burden of fundraising falls on the students... It just doesn't seem right at all...
Nonetheless, I will do what I can to help your cause. Obviously I'm not donating any of my money, I don't have the finances nor the desire to go around spending money like that. However, my aunt in Oregon worked at very alternative schools for about two decades I believe, so obviously she's a huge supporter of schools that go the extra mile to really understand student's needs & provide them with the environment & tools that best enable them to succeed, as opposed to just doing what's cheap & convenient like most schools do. My aunt started her own business eight years ago & it's really taken off these past few years, so if I catch her in a good mood there's a chance she'd either be willing to donate or encourage some of her friends that she used to work with to.

If your school needs money go to the principal and ask if he can approve some sort of fund raiser. Bake sales ,school fairs and dances would be a good way to raise money.

Bake sales ,school fairs and dances would be a good way to raise money. it's not that we have a shortage of ideas, it's that we don't have people willing to help. we're already starting bake sales, though we're not having a dance, we are having a benefit concert done by kimya dawson.
