Thank you for doing your part to make our fundraiser a success!!
Donations – Cash/Checks
Direct donations will be accepted this year. Direct donations are great for you because you don’t have to deliver items at a later date. Plus, they are great for the school because if it’s a cash or check, the school keeps 100% of the donation!
There is a separate form in the packets to keep track of these. (If you need an additional form, download one here.)Every $10 in donations counts as 1 item sold when counting for prizes provided by the school. Prizes provided by the fundraising company (on their forms) only count actual items sold, not donations.
Online Donation
Online contributions can be made here or from the Home & School website home page: roadrunnerparents.com. It is important to remind students to remind those donating via this method that the donor must enter the student’s name at checkout in order for the student to receive credit.The online donations will be processed by PayPal, so there is a small percentage deducted from each donation. Donors do NOT need to have a PayPal account to donate online.
Online Ordering
There is also a way for people to order actual items from the gift catalog online. Online orders for the fundraiser can be completed at www.shopfund.com. Buyers can purchase by choosing state, Roosevelt school and entering the first and last name of the student.
Ordering Frozen Items Online
Frozen items ordered online will be delivered to the school on delivery day; they cannot be shipped. Buyers must select SHIP TO SCHOOL in order for frozen items to appear. Frozen items cannot be shipped directly to buyers.
Collecting Money
Collect money for donations and purchases at the time of order. We cannot place an order without it being paid for in advance.
Make checks payable to Roosevelt H&S
Please write your student’s name and classroom number on the memo lines of your checks. (For example: “Kamryn D. – 5B”)
If a check is returned, the person will still be responsible for paying for the item(s) plus any bank fees incurred.
Volunteers Needed
We need volunteers to come in on the last day of the fundraiser for Count Night. These volunteers will help count and double check all of the order forms and donation forms. This will take place on Wednesday, September 20th, from 3pm-7pm (or until done). There will be a sign-up link for volunteers when we get closer.
We also need volunteers for Delivery Day! The truck comes around noon, so we will need volunteers to help unload the truck and organize the orders. Then we’ll need people available during pick-up times to help load orders into vehicles (it is a drive-thru method). When the pick-up time is over, we’ll need help putting away any orders that were not picked up, as well as any extras the company has sent us. There will be a sign-up link for volunteers when we get closer.
Instant Prizes & Participation
Each morning teachers will ask students if they have sold one item or received one donation. If a student has done one or both of those things, he/she will be given an instant prize by the end of the day (or the next day). We do NOT need to see the packet or form – please just send in the coupon. If you have lost the coupon, we will take your child’s word for it for 1 item sold. This data will be used to monitor progress of the fundraiser goals (see below).
There are instant prizes for students who sell 1, 7, and 12 items. Each time a student reaches those milestones, return the coupon in the packet and the student will receive the instant prize(s) that day or the next. Send these coupons in as they are earned, as instant prize supply is limited and is first-come, first-serve. Instant prizes may not be awarded to students who do not turn in the coupons prior to the end of the sale due to availability of the prizes. In order to insure instant prizes, turn them in as soon as they are earned! If you lose your coupons, simply have an adult write and sign a note indicating the number of items sold. There are other prizes at the 3 & 7 level (and above) but those will be delivered with the orders.
Snow Cones
All students that sell at least 10 items or collect $100 in donations will get a visit to the Snow cone truck during a SCHOOL DAY!!!
Prizes
In addition to the fundraising company’s prize structure, the school has added additional incentives for individuals as well as classrooms.

Sibling Splits
If siblings are selling together, on the same form, the item count for the company will be as if only one student is selling. However, for school provided prizes and participation purposes, those siblings will evenly split the items/donations in the prize determination. If they do not want their totals split, they need to make sure that only one child’s name is on the form. If both names are on the form, we will assume they want the prizes split.
For example, Jack and Jill work together and sell 20 items and receive $200 in donations. They put both names on their forms. From the fundraising company they will receive one prize for the prize level of selling 20 items. For the school provided prizes, however, they would EACH get credit for selling 10 items and receiving $100 in donations. If Jack and Jill do not want their prizes split, they should just put Jack’s name on the form. Then Jack would get credit for selling 20 items and receiving $200 in donations. (Then they can fight at home about how to split potential prizes!) It’s important to note, however, that if Jack and Jill both sell but only turn in one form with Jack’s name on it, Jill will NOT receive participation credit for her classroom, which will affect the classroom standings. A potential solution is for Jill to turn in her form with a single $10 donation on it, which would then count for her participation.THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ROOSEVELT HOME & SCHOOL
