Leave it to an 8 year old to remind me of the high yield that comes from active engagement vs passive engagement. It’s school fundraiser season. As our school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) treasurer, I take this seriously. We have a whole line up of field trips, staff & teacher appreciation, student support, & family/caregiver events that can only happen thanks to the generous support of our community. While I wasn’t going to phone this in, I also was laser focused on ME asking adults in our sphere to donate. Enter my 8 year old: “Mama, can I have a lemonade stand for my school? I want us to win top class!” Caregivers know: lemonade stands are high parental involvement enterprises. *Sigh* But he asked. So lemonade it was. 🍋 I immediately noticed 2 things: 1.) Once I included my son in the goal & let him drive how we got there, he was immediately invested. He saw himself as part of a “we”- WE are doing this together, WE are an elementary school, WE are a class 2.) The community showed up. They saw a product, saw a student working hard, saw a story they could enter into and they decided to join in. They were also engaged & invested. My lesson? Don’t underestimate the power of active engagement. PS We’re taking donations through Sunday 10/6. And my son’s class is #1. Just saying. 🙃
