Putting the FUN in FUNdraising! MYCalendar offers pupils a unique way to showcase their work-of-art while schools get to raise much needed funds.
Hello and welcome to MySchool Fundraising! Peter Martin here, the founder of MYCalendar and the energy behind bringing fundraising ideas to Primary Schools across Ireland over the past 10 years. During this time, I have seen how committed Parents Associations are and how hard the committees work to earn much needed funds for activities in their schools. Asking for money is never easy so new ideas
are always sought and innovative fundraising ideas are the life blood of any committee. With MYCalendar we aim to put the FUN back into Fundraising! After the successful launch last year of MYCalendar, identifying famous artists, we have now added our sporting calendar which is proving very popular this year. MyCalendar has its own unique identity. It’s Educational
• Each page/month of the Artist’s Calendar features interesting facts about famous artists such as Renoir,Van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci and many more.The calendar is an educational tool marking the birthday and telling some facts about an Artist each month.
• Each page/month of the Sporting Calendar features interesting facts about events taking place that month.
• Numeracy awareness: 105 self adhesive stickers come with every calendar.The child is encouraged to actively engage with each calendar month, marking out the days such as friends’ birthdays, school holidays, dentist appointments, non-uniform days etc. It Builds Confidence
With the child’s ONE drawing as the main feature of the calendar, confidence and belief in their ability is developed. It’ a Fun Way To Raise Funds For The School
It’s easy to run out of fundraising ideas and you can sell only so many raf e tickets! MYCalendar is a great classroom exercise involving all of the children. Each child gets to show the template of their picture to their parent before they commit to buy the calendar.We even encourage the Teacher to do their own picture! (Each Teacher receives their own calendar FOC!)
They Make Great Christmas Gifts! Parents can order as many of as little as they wish.The retail price is €10 and the school keeps €2.50
I am proud and delighted to bring you MYCalendar. It is entirely Irish from concept, design to printing and delivery. MyCalendar is available As Gaeilge fresin! Happy Fundraising and we look forward to working with you.
