Rose Calendars – Latest news

Just as the weather has at last decided to turn summery, the children are due back at school soon.  Time for parents to get new school uniforms, books and pens at the ready, and time for schools to prepare for the new term.

An essential part of every school’s agenda is fundraising - allowing the purchase of important equipment like computers and other teaching aids, and supporting activities like school trips, art projects, sports days, etc.  Many schools, though, find raising money a struggle and are looking for different tools to help them achieve their goals.

School calendars are a great tool to use as part of your school’s fundraising activities.  They can be personalised with the school’s logo and colours and feature special dates like parents evenings, sports days and non-pupil days.  Creating designs for the individual calendar leaves might even prove a fun project for the pupils.

A school calendar acts as a useful reminder of important days throughout the year - to both parents and teachers.  Most parents will quite happily buy one, especially if it has been customised to be as useful as possible and maybe even contains some of their child’s work, like a drawing.

It is worth pointing out that school calendars can easily be created to run in line with the academic year, i.e. from September to the following summer, and they don’t necessarily have to contain only 12 months.
