And in every single one, it says don't go door to door or solicit strangers. Also, the kids can read it an understand what it says. Of course, these fundraisers also have much better goodies for sale than magazines. Chocolates, nifty coffee mugs, holiday stuff, etc. Also, this reeks of scamminess. School fundraisers go to the school. Even if run through another program, the orders and all that still go to the school. So the P.O. Box thing makes me paranoid. Note: My seven year old is learning about bats. Yesterday, she told me about echolocation. She's in 2nd grade. Yet another reason to beleive that can't possibly be a seventh grader. Kindergarten, maybe. Every year my kids bring home from school at least three different fundraising things from the programs they run at the schools.
