It worked! We are going to be scheduled to hold drive in April...that's when they do their Recycling Curriculum.
Here's What I did:
I made one sheet explaining 2 programs we have, name secret until I trademark (Printed on Green Paper). 1 program was for Recycling Drive. 2nd was for yr round pick ups, if customer has card from school we will donate to school % of proceeds from PU. I am pretty proud of the presentation I came up with in 24 hours!
One thing she was really impressed with was Junk Cars. We put the letter to parents/neighbors/friends that we will take Junk Cars and pay up to $500 (but usually never pay that much) anywho, less 25% to Customer of what we normally pay and ARR would donate that 25% to fundraiser AND if someone DONATES the car ARR would pay school what we would have paid the donor.
OK...then I made a Recycle Coloring Book Page, Recycle Word Find, Recycle Stickers a letter to Students Parents w/donation slip on bottom for tax write-offs and included our basic flyer also. Put all this in a report presentation clear thingy and WALA. They loved it! Now I gotta wait 'til April for that school to see how it turns out. I should know about the card program sooner. I will touch base with them end of next week if I don't hear back.
Ohhh, and she loved the Recycling Puppet Show idea!
I should make 80-100 on the stuff I picked up from them today, which started all this into motion. I <3 FreeCycle!
I will be pitching more schools soon.
Thanks a heap for all the suggestions, guidance, and encouragement. You all ROCK!
