Our artist series! We could do a monthly rotation of different art groups and have different community members come out and teach the kids different things. For example, if we did dance, we would have different styles of Dance being taught around the school and the kids could go from room to room learning new things. We did this about 10-15 years ago

Straw Draw Fundraiser

As one of the easiest school fundraisers out there, you’ll wonder why you haven’t done a straw draw before.

All that’s involved in this school fundraiser is purchasing a pack or two of colorful straws and thinking of prizes that your students and teachers might be interested in getting. Then, write the rewards down on small pieces of paper, tape them to the bottom of the straws, and place them in an opaque container, such as a plastic cup, so no one can see the prizes.

Prizes for students can include perks like extra recess time, an ice cream delivery, or front-of-the-line privileges for a day. Charge $1 to $2 for every straw draw.

Ice Cream Social

This fundraising idea is simple but effective for exciting your elementary school students. Pick a special free period for your students to enjoy the event, then either offer them tickets for a fee or simply sell ice cream during that period.

Ice cream socials make a perfect incentive or reward for participation in other fundraising campaigns, especially toward the end of the school year when students are excited to get outside and enjoy warm weather.

The Barkin' Biscuits team has embarked on a new fundraising component in partnership with schools and organizations in the greater Jacksonville area to generate awareness and support for the vocational training taking place in the NFSSE kitchen.

If you're looking for a fulfilling way to raise money for your school, church or community organization and want to make a difference in the lives of young adults with intellectual differences in the process, then look no further! Team up with Barkin' Biscuits, an all-natural dog treat baking operation out of North Florida School of Special Education, to financially benefit both your organization and the vocational training program for these special chefs.

HOW IT WORKS

Collect money and orders from your supporters and receive a shipment once the fundraising campaign has come to a close. We will provide your organization with promotional information and collateral, order forms and individualized support. We can even create custom made-to-order biscuits for events, promotions, social functions, corporate gifts, and more! All you need to do is tempt the pet lovers in your life with these howlicious, all-natural dog treats! Fifty percent of the proceeds from all sales will go to benefit your organization, and the other fifty percent will be funneled back into the Barkin' Biscuits vocational training program to provide opportunities for more young adults with special abilities in the Jacksonville community.

In addition to supporting the mission of the North Florida School of Special Education and the expansion of the Barkin' Biscuits vocational training program, the members of your organization will gain valuable experience in networking, marketing, sales and customer service. There's nothing better than a little friendly competition to help build relationships and instill a sense of pride in making a positive impact both in your community and in the lives of many students!

Please contact Barkin' Biscuits Manager Gail Wickenden, at 904-724-8323 or gwickenden@northfloridaschool.org for information on fundraising!
