Our school held a ‘trash and treasure’ day, one week ago. As there were many ‘treasures’ 
stored under the school eg unused chairs, tables, desks, timber etc, it was decided to sell this in order to add funds to the parents club and enable special project requests from staff, to be funded. Various stalls were set up, including the popular cakes and produce stall conducted by the parents club. Outside vendors also came in selling ‘trash’, plants and flowers. A spinning wheel proved to be very popular and a great money spinner.
Our principal, with two other capable parents provided a bbq for lunchtime appetities and the country style devonshire teas, comprising home made scones and jam also proved popular. Overall, it was a great day, the sun shone and money was raised.

Ha ha…. Ohhh noooo…. now, as well as Anzac biscuits, I’ve discovered scones with jam and fresh cream. Next thing I know you will be posting pictures of pavlovas and lamingtons.
Hi,
I love the trash to treasure day–seems like a great fund raiser with potential service learning links. I teach service learning in the US and came across your blog from Classroom 2.0. It’s giving me some good ideas, thank you!

Hi! Wow! That trash treasure day seems like such a good idea! I had never thought of how someone’s trash may be a “treasure” to someone else! I would like to have one in my school. I am amazed by how I just got an idea from you blog, how I came across it. It is unbelievable! Through the internet you can find other people and connect. That is why I would like you to visit my blog anytime (2gr82b4gotten.edublogs.org)
