Forming a high school club, help?

Forming a high school club, help?
We already have our club ideas and an advisor in mind, but we need help with ideas for sponsors and fund raising. Any suggestions on what we should fund raise with? Are there companies in San Jose, California, that would willingly sponsor a new high school club that's meant to do community service and help with the budget for our school/peers? We also want to do something for the holidays but we need some help coming up with ideas for the events. Thanks!

Well, I have started a club in Middle school that only needed minimum funding but in 6th grade, we won a GATE competition and needed money to go to the State so we sent out letters to random companies in our area and most of the responses that included money were from banks. Also in middle school, we had school bake sales that raised a lot of money, enough to cover most of the team tee-shirts, so that might be an idea. Also, you could order some recycled newspaper pencils and sell those because they went fast when we sold them in 6th grade.

Look into the Kiwanis club, this sounds definitely like something they would be interested in doing or helping out with. Fund raising is a blast-- you can have mixers (if you charge a door fee they tend to raise a lot of money), a mardi-gras party (sell beads for a door fee) bake sales, car washes, sell t-shirts, pretty much anything. Good luck!

You probably have to have a permit. This would be decided by city ordinance.


2
is illegal if written NOT TO BE SOLD, on the book


3
Being in CA Yes I agree with J B's answer.


4
I do not know, I do not you who you can contact for the info sorry.


5
In Texas,it's illegal if they don't belong to you,lol.

Depends, how your school works. At my bro and sis's school, they can sell back their school books to other students who will need them for the grade they are going into and then use that money towards the buy the books they will be needing for the grade they are going into.

Your question is in need of some specifics. Do you mean set up a booth on the sidewalk and sell books? Or just happen to be on the public street and sell a book to someone. There are city ordinances that require a vendor to have permission to operate a streetside venue. So if you're just offhandedly selling "a book" or "a small batch of books" to a person and you happen to be on the public street then that's probably not going to even be noticed. (Although technically you could still be violating some city ordinance) But if you "set up shop" and "hawk you wares" to passersby, even on private property you will have to comply with the city ordinances that governs those actions. Go to city hall and find out what the requirements are, or take a chance and suffer the repercussions if you get cited.


8
no it is not.


9
If yard sales are legal it is legal. If they are texts from a public school, no. Private school or college textbooks would be OK.


10
It's illegal to sell anything out in public without the appropriate zoning permit and vendor's license.

Why would you want to switch schools over the race majority, are there racists at your school or something? i never met someone who wanted to do that anyway i don't know about California but i know that there are a lot of asians in Vancouver, i heard there's so much that other minorities have been getting pissed about it, honestly i think you should just go to the same school don't switch schools over the race majority instead how about you learn more about the race and cultures in your school =)

Where i live, i know Kroger will sometimes hire 14 year olds! Other than there, your best bet would be babysitting, working for a parent, working in a consession stand, or even volunteering at a library or pet shelter. hope i helped, and goodluck!

Recommendations for driving schools in San Jose?

Recommendations for driving schools in San Jose?
I'm in my mid-30s. I went through all the courses when I was younger, back in Canada, but I always lived in big cities so I was never a regular driver. Now that I live in Silicon Valley I *have* to drive everywhere. So, I'm looking for a solid instruction + practical course before I get the California license. I don't have nearby relatives to coach me.

California state university northridge for sure. a friend of mine goes there, and says that the campus is packed with complete geniuses at math and technology, so it must be a great place to learn all that or they wouldn't be so good.

According to my rankings: 1) CSU San Jose 2( San Francisco State 3) Northridge


3
CSU SAN JOSE STATE

San Jose State is just a commuter school for South Bay people who can't get into a better school. If you do go there, join the school's best and brightest in the CSU Students of San Jose Yahoo Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CSUstudentsSanJose

If you can afford it, then San Jose itself would be great. You don't want a long commute anymore because of the gas prices. Other option would be Sunnyvale, Milpitas, or Mountain view.


2
Avoid the east side,downtown,actually the only decent parts of san jose are west san jose and south san jose. sunnyvale,santa clara,palo alto,los gatos are nice city's within driving distance of san jose.


3
I live in Gilroy about 25 min South of SanJose. Its nice here.

Live in San Jose. I don't know why so many out-of-state people keep having this idea of living in a different city than they work in and commuting. Traffic in California is bad, and gas prices are through the roof. The novelty of a "nice town" is going to wear off fast. San Jose is a big city and there are plenty of places with good schools and good "family areas".


5
West San Jose, Campbell area, nice....Moorland School District in one of the best, you can goole it...that would be in west San Jose,Campbell, area schools and Westmont High are great as well, good luck and welcome!

San Jose--- otherwise the traffic is horrible

If I took a high school class in middle school does it show up on my high school transcript?
I took Geometry (10th grade math) in 8th grade, and I got a B+ second semester. So will it show up on my high school transcript? And if it does, should I retake Geometry 2nd semester over the summer to get an A in it? Will it make a difference if I do? Oh, and I'm in San Jose, California, if that helps.

Only if that was a high school credited class. Improving a grade is never a bad idea.


2
Yes it will.


3
no i dont think so


4
Yes it will be on your transcript. A B+ is a good grade especially since you took it before the time most people take it. I would not retake because it's a really good grade so there's no point.


5
It might count. Ask your guidance counselor to be sure. As far as summer school, it kinda depends on the grade. If you got a C or a D they you definitely want to improve that. Otherwise leave it alone and have a good summer!
