Our packages start at like 8. and you can buy a CD for 10. and print your own. But we are in a small rural area.<BR/>If you are in any kind of even midly remotely populated area you betcha your school is making quite a bit of money. And yeh, they usually aren't real vocal about what it's being used for. I just think if your purchases are going to be used to raise funds for something, well, you should know about it.<BR/>... just sayin'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14725530.post-22357256145386617292007-11-29T15:34:00.000-05:002007-11-29T15:34:00.000-05:00I don't mind the schools making money on the schoo...I don't mind the schools making money on the school pics, but they should at least make the portrait packs reasonable. No one wants 24 itty bitty pics - they want decent sized wallet pics. And who wants black & white 5 x 7's? If you want color 5 x 7's then you have to buy the more expensive package etc etc.<BR/><BR/>If my son's school gets money from the pics, they do a good job at not advertising what they money is being put towards.Chris the Yardsale Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520877622936730452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14725530.post-30644889434116326852007-11-29T13:15:00.000-05:002007-11-29T13:15:00.000-05:00I'm a lurker on your forum and this blog but enjoy...I'm a lurker on your forum and this blog but enjoy both. (well I do post on the forums occasionally.) -- Anyway... I'm a school photographer (and I take no offense from your post.) but I wondered how many people actually know that the photos taken at school are a fund-raiser for the school. Order forms usually say this but rarely do people read the whole form and it is usually in small print.<BR/>I'm not saying this is good or bad... I'm just wondering how many people realize this. (and often it's a rather large amount that goes to the school)... this isn't a debate about whether the school should get money for pic day or not... just... do people know that pics are a fundraiser?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
