Organized Teachers Find Creative Means to Fund Education

Sept. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- State and local budget threats have placed education reform at risk.  Daily media reports bring news of layoffs, program cuts, class time reductions and class size increases.  With limited budgets and program changes, parents and teachers are seeking creative solutions to support education.

Stimulus funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act were expected to jump start education reform.  However, as the economy faltered, states sought  to offset deficits by using stimulus funds to shore up slumping state education budgets.  As a result, planned funding for 2011 is less than half of the funding that was provided in 2010.

In an effort to continue to provide funding for education, parents and teachers are finding ways to support schools through creative means.  Companies like SEAT SACK Corporation, http://www.seatsack.com, offer fundraising programs to parent teacher groups through the sale of functional, practical, useful products.  "Our products teach organization in the classroom by providing personal storage space for each student", according to Michelle Holder, Director of Marketing & Sales.  "The fundraiser program at SEAT SACK Corporation was developed to help schools raise money through functional products, but also to provide products that will assist teachers in time management."

With class sizes increasing, storage space in a classroom is at its premium.  Teachers are in need of classroom organizers http://www.seatsack.com/practicalschoolstoragesolutions.aspx like the patented SEAT SACK storage pocket that slides onto the back of a chair to provide the necessary personal storage space for each student.  Through the fundraiser program, the school purchases products at a discounted price and then sells the items to the parents.  SEAT SACK offers a full line of products in their fundraiser program.  They have expanded their line to include: locker organizers, pencil pouches, back packs and other desk organizers.  In addition to helping schools raise funds and get organized at the same time, SEAT SACK products are practical and they can be personalized with the school or organizations logo.  http://www.youtube.com/seatsack

As the demands of education grow, we need to support teachers in their creative means to provide a quality education for students.  Finding ways to offset deficits and support teacher's efforts should be at the forefront.  Our children need it and our future demands it.
