Noelle\u2019s been talking about her school fund raiser all week\u2026 it\u2019s so funny to me how the school pumps the kids up and then they come home so excited, but not about the product but about the prizes, of course! They don\u2019t focus on selling techniques, like what the money goes to buy, how much the bars cost, or how to make the chocolate sound like a must-have\u2026 they sell the kids the prizes! Noelle was raving about the bounce house party, the ice cream pass, and most of all, being king or queen for the day (the top seller of the whole school). She said in the sweetest little girly girl voice, \u201cYou get the royal treatment, Mom!\u201d <\/p>\n
After I read the letter, I explained to her that only one kid in the entire school gets \u201cthe royal treatment.\u201d Anyway, she and I talked about selling techniques and she pretending to sell the candy to me for the rest of the day. We practiced math a bunch based on how many bars I decided to buy. I kept putting them back and changing my mind on the quantity (most fun math lesson ever, we were both cracking up), and I was a tough sell. I said, \u201cHow do I know they are fresh?\u201d and she said, \u201cBecause they are made OF scratch, Ma\u2019am!\u201d Haha! And then Anna Kate piped in and said she doesn\u2019t want any because they have sugar in them and that they\u2019re not healthy, and Noelle said, \u201cWow, Anna Kate, that\u2019s a good observation!\u201d Our kids are so cool!<\/p>\n
I need to record her sales pitch. She\u2019s a natural! I LOVE it when the kids bring home something you actually want to buy that doesn\u2019t cost more than a couple of bucks. That\u2019s my kind of fund raiser. I bought all the Milk chocolate with Almonds\u2026 our favorite! The last time I tasted the World\u2019s Finest Chocolate was when I sold them in middle school choir, and I\u2019ve dreamed about them ever since\u2026 or at least never forgot they were the best chocolate bars I\u2019ve ever had! Score with a fund raiser that\u2019s actually fun too! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
