Many parents now buy their child's teacher a copy of this directory at the beginning of the year to help in planning new and different field trips for the year to come. Both the teachers and the parent council tell us they find Help! useful in organizing everything from hot lunch programs to school fun fairs.
The section has companies which will come to your school at lunch or after school for an extended period (once a week for a whole term or semester for example) as well as educational programming which is appropriate for a one time special event or seminar. Some of these companies do larger scale shows which are great for fairs, end of year parties, or other special days.
When planning school excursions, don't forget that many companies only list in one category so be sure to check the Attractions/Family Outings, Amusement Centres, Festivals, Fairs & Carnivals, and Fun for Free sections for other ideas.
Finally, almost all schools and daycares have at least one annual fundraising program in place. Here we have included some ideas to help your organization raise money.
