Hi everyone,

We need to decide on how to take the book fair profits. $4708.28 in scholastic dollars or $2354.14 in cash. We can also do a combo. Maybe $1000 in scholastic dollars and the rest in cash? What does everyone think?

Thanks

What are we going to do with $1000 in scholastic dollars? 
Maybe we could start giving teachers $100 per year for scholastic purchases. Any additional proceeds from the fairs will be cash into PTA. 
Does that make sense? 
Those are my thoughts, happy to hear other perspectives

Thea

We like to have someone scholastic dollars to cover some costs for the next book fair. We use them for prefair purchases and scholarships. We also usually purchase some books for every teacher from their wishlist. 

Hope that helps!

How much do we usually spend for prefair purchases and scholarships? I'm thinking maybe we could research some amount to cover prefair purchases to save us some money. Otherwise, it will go from the PTA Bookfair expense budget, right?

Some context for Thea: If we go with scholastic dollars, we get more but that will not go through PTA. For cash, it will go back to PTA's Bookfair income budget and then each year PTA gives the library $5500 to purchase books.

Thank you!

Best wishes,
Sophie

The last couple fairs, we’ve tried to have around 1000 scholastic dollars. That should be good I think. I’ll find out what the cash amount will be after taking out that much scholastic dollars
