Times are tough. How do we find the funds?
Even during this rotten recession, there are ways:
-
Ask teachers to designate Annette's visit an In-House Field Trip, with parents contributing a few dollars each. Consider that Annette often speaks to at least 200 students in the course of a day, and even if not all kids contribute, parents' donations will do much to offset the cost.
- Your principal and district have discretionary funds. Make a good case, and point out the curriculum relevance and value. If you need more information to make your case, contact Annette.
- PTAs and PTOs are often willing to support enrichment programs, especially in areas like social studies which are being shut out by testing demands.
- Target Corporation offers grants of up to $2000 to bring authors(you could bring Annette for a week to talk to different grades!) Application period is in March and April. If you're planning to bring Annette, she'll help you to apply!
- If you are a parent or teacher, talk with your PTA or media specialist/librarian. Many school librarians have money set aside for author visits, raised from book sales.
