<p>So for my school Im running a spelling bee to raise money and my goal is $5,000 (ridiculous I know but not impossible) </p>
<p>School atmosphere, People generally go to dances and football games than to academic tournaments. </p>
<p>How can I get students not interested in spelling bees to come to the spelling bee?</p>
<p>Impossible.</p>
<p>Who wants to go to a spelling bee. Try saying its for a good cause, and they get something out of it.</p>
<p>Toxic93 (that’s the problem : ( )
What if there was a $500 cash prize, a raffle and a bet on the winner.</p>
<p>Impossible.</p>
<p>Nothings impossible.</p>
<p>Won’t the cash prize attract people.</p>
<p>Maybe if I could get them intrested</p>
<p>Advertise to the parents. :)</p>
<p>When I was little if my parents knew there was an academic competition of some sort, they made me compete. lol. </p>
<p>And call the prize a “Scholarship” to sweeten the deal. Well, for overbearing parents anyways. </p>
<p>It’s worth a shot, eh?</p>
<p>Instead of a spelling bee, get a group of talented friends to perform “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” You can probably get some sponsors (or maybe the school) to cover production costs if you guys are good enough, and then after that you only need to sell 840 some tickets for 6 bucks a piece to reach your goal. The more cast members the better. Cast members bring in family, friends, lovers, admirers, etc. </p>
<p>So there are 6 main kids and 3 main adults. If you have extra people playing the two gay dads, Jesus, Olive’s mother and father, and I think that’s about it, then you have 14 people with lines/solo parts of songs. I don’t think an ensemble would really work, so yeah 14 people max. Well you could have doubles which would bring in twice the cast-affiliated audience (after all, how many people will see the show twice). So 28 cast members each brings in 3 family members, 3 friends, 1 lover/admirer, and you’re already 1/4 of the way to the goal.</p>
<p>^Biggest wth moment ever. Lmao.</p>
<p>And FunStuff said it. Twice.</p>
<p>I don’t know if you’re still trying to do this or not, but at my school, they get kids to come to those things by offering NHS hours for participating/attending. Or maybe English teachers could give extra credit? Either way, it’s kind of sad that the only way people will do things like that is for hours, but whatever.</p>
<p>MapleLeaf? But the join date is 2009, so I guess not.</p>
<p>haha no, that’s not “him”</p>
