Christian School Fundraisers - Start Your Engines!!

Today is the beginning of the last summer month. For many of us, it isn't even a whole month to get our plans mapped out and key dates set on the calendar.

As we get ready to greet the students and parents back, now is a good time to look at our overall plans and see if we are ready to hit the school year running.

Here are a few ideas:


  1. Are the major dates and plans on the calendar?

  2. Have you thought about the major themes you want to convey?

  3. Who are some key donors you want to contact before the year begins?

  4. Have you thought and prayed about some key volunteers that you want to bring along to help share the load?

  5. What books or articles do you need to read to get your mind and heart focused on where the Lord wants you?

  6. Have you picked a big goal that, without the Lord's supernatural work, will make a large difference in the life of the school?

  7. Who are your prayer and accountability partners?

This also a good time to renew some professional friendships and to run these ideas and plans by.


Who knows, maybe someone has some insight that could help you be more successful.
