My school is located in the Country, we are a small school of just about 275 students. We are in small podunk town, where there is nothing (literally) to do. It's a tradition for the senior class to go on a senior trip for a few days. Last year the senior class failed to go on one. As the senior class representative, I'm trying to bring the old tradition and school spirit back into our school. We need to raise at least 1,000 dollars before May 16th. I want to make sure that my graduating class of '09 will have the best senior trip that they can hope for. I have some ideas that only the principle knows of. I want to blow them out of the water with my ideas. Thanks for the help even though we all are going through hard times, it will be very appreciated!
