What to do after your Kick-off?
Over the next two weeks you will be receiving
money from your students, writing receipts, and
making deposits. Fresh Country encourages you
to make deposits as you receive money from you
students daily. If you have to hold money
overnight, be sure to put it in a safe. Most likely
you don’t have a safe in your Ag. Department so
check with your Principal or Business Office.
Teacher Instructions
What to do after your Kick-off?
After the Kick-Off your fund raiser has just begun. Now it’s time
for the big push! Visit with your students DAILY to check on their
progress. Check to see how many packages each student has
sold. Encourage your students! Display both your High Sales and
Individual Sales Rewards on the board in your classroom
throughout the sale and discuss them daily! Remember that if you
forget about the fund raiser, many of your students will too!!
Don’t let that happen so PUSH, PUSH, PUSH!!!!
Thank you for choosing
Fresh Country Fund Raising!
