Teachers Beware of the “Kiss” Fundraiser

Would you really want to pucker up and kiss a pig to raise money for your school?  How about a goat?  Or a turtle?  When it comes to the infamous “kiss” fundraiser students can be pretty creative.

Students at one school, voting with their loose change, picked a teacher to kiss a goat.

The students, parents and staff at the school dropped money into milk bottles one bottle assigned to each teacher or staff member at the school. The teacher, administrator or staff member whose milk bottle contained the most money at the end of the fundraiser had to pucker up to a goat

Kramer was unpleasantly surprised when she ended up having to smooch the animal. She was pleasantly surprised to learn that that kiss, as unpleasant as it might have been, brought in close to $800 for her school.

Whether students vote for teachers to kiss a goat, kiss a pig or any other strange thing, it’s all about the “I dare Ya” of it and seeing their teacher do something they wouldn’t normally do.   Teachers rule the classroom, but once in awhile students get to have their day to be the boss too.
