Our customers have realized significant success in selling WE branded products through our Artwork for Education fundraising program. Please enjoy their comments: You are the most organized, efficient, and nicest fundraising company that we have ever dealt with. The teachers, administration, parents, and students are so pleased and impressed with the cards and your company. You made it so easy to raise the amount of money we did for our school. We are definitely doing this again next year! Erin Williams Artwork for Education is an AMAZING fundraiser! The students were able to participate in an educational project where they can express their individual talent. The parents enjoy the benefit of timeless cards they can keep and share. A great representation of our school community! Kim Costa The Artwork for Education fundraiser was a great way to start our school year. The students loved being artists with published work! As a parent I can’t wait to give these works of art as Christmas gifts. Heidi Scaroni “This fundraiser was such a refreshing change from the traditional candy and cookie dough sales. The students are selling their own individual artwork that they can be proud of and support their school at the same time.” Jacqueline Perkins At Spreckels School, we are trying to promote a "healthier lifestyles" environment for our community. Schools all over the country are responding to the national mandate that we prioritize the health and physical well being of our students. We have asked our parent groups to respond by cutting down the amount of junk food fundraisers we use to raise money for our schools, as selling large amounts of cookie dough and candy sends a conflicting message to our families. This art fundraiser has accomplished this goal, plus given us the added benefit of showcasing the creative talents of our students and teachers. We look forward to seeing the project continue next year, not only to maintain our financial commitments, but to provide teachers with an opportunity to explore the value of art with their students, and help the children realize their own artistic abilities. Lise Belton This was the first fundraiser where parents said, “Thank you for selling these beautiful cards!" Debra Van Tongeren Our PTO is tentatively planning to participate in the note card fundraiser again this year. It was a huge hit this past year! I've never seen such pride and excitement as the kids looked through those catalogs! Adrienne Vavpetic The Mansfield Public Schools are excited to engage in a collaborative endeavor with Worldwise Education in sponsoring Artwork for Education. We are eager to publish the students’ works of art. The fundraising component is an additional benefit. John Moretti Welby Way Elementary School was really excited to participate in a fundraiser that inspired the students to be artistic and creative. The funds raised will support our arts program that is so vital to the student body. Thank you for all of the hard work your company has put forth generating the beautiful catalogs and cards. Jessica Chavez, It did not feel like a fundraiser because it allowed our children to be creative and expressive with artwork. We incorporated it into our art curriculum. We look forward to doing it again in the fall! Leslie Heilbron The teachers were very enthusiastic which in turn made the children so excited. 98% of our children participated by providing their art and when the beautiful color catalogs came to Castle Heights the excitement built. Parents, staff and children were showing their art to everyone. We had a tremendous amount of orders and everyone could not wait to get their cards. When they did come I received phone call after phone call about how incredible the cards came out. Many teachers came up to me and thanked me for directing such a fabulous fundraiser which included all the children's talent and creativity. We asked several people who purchased cards to donate back 4-6 of them so we can assemble assorted boxes to sell at our art show this week at school. We bought a new kiln and supplies for the teachers with the money that we made so we can continue the "arts" at Castle Heights. Lesley Bloom The Artwork for Education fundraiser we offered was definitely a success! It gave Dearborn parents an opportunity to purchase a keepsake of their child’s artwork in a professional format. Our students were able to see their art piece on the front of a card, which is wonderful for self esteem and gave our awesome teachers the stage for sharing the creativity they offer our students. Everyone in the school community was extremely pleased with the quality and presentation of the final product! We will use the funds raised from this PTA sponsored program to purchase instructional technology for our computer lab. Kristin Foster Lupin Hill Elementary added the Artwork for Education program to our fundraising schedule to offset shortfalls in other fundraising areas. We specifically targeted our S.O.S. (Save our Specialists) appeal since we are responsible for raising 100% of the monies required to maintain our Art, Computers, Music and PE programs. Our Art Specialist worked directly with the children to create the artwork submitted. Parents, teachers and students are thrilled with the greeting cards! Fact is, we needed to raised extra money in a short period of time and we were happy to participate in the Artwork program rather than selling candy or cookie dough. Christy Littleford It’s one of the easiest, cleanest fundraisers I have ever seen. This was a great art project for our school and the art catalog is impressive. The emotional impact of the children’s art is amazing, it’s like the kids’ names go up in lights! Kids, parents and grandparents will always treasure this art and Artwork for Education makes it easy to order, including the online ordering feature. It doesn’t take up room here at the school, the catalog and cards fits in the kids’ backpacks, the cards are good all year long and they don’t spoil. The PTA administered the program and the funds go towards our computer lab, school beautification projects and more. David Hirsch
