Teacher InstructionsWhat to do after your Kick-off?

Over the next two weeks you will be receiving money from your students, writing receipts, and making deposits. Fresh Country encourages you to make deposits as you receive money from you

students daily. If you have to hold money overnight, be sure to put it in a safe. Most likely you don’t have a safe in your Ag. Department so

check with your Principal or Business Office.

Teacher InstructionsWhat to do after your Kick-off?

After the Kick-Off your fund raiser has just begun. Now it’s time

for the big push! Visit with your students DAILY to check on their

progress. Check to see how many packages each student has

sold. Encourage your students! Display both your High Sales and

Individual Sales Rewards on the board in your classroom

throughout the sale and discuss them daily! Remember that if you

forget about the fund raiser, many of your students will too!!

Don’t let that happen so PUSH, PUSH, PUSH!!!!
