Honestly, I can't think of a single part of the whole process that could be improved. I've been teaching for 30 years and I have organized many whole-school fundraising events and this was definately the easiest one on the teacher-in-charge. Robert was well-organized and efficient and responded quickly every step of the way. Unfortunately, I'm still a "paper" person but I'm managed to complete all of the communication and planning on-line. Our DJ Elliott was fabulous! He was professional and well-organized but also, lots of fun. His music was perfect for each group. He played appropriate songs for the kindergartens right up to the grade eights. The teachers appreciated it when he played a song that we could sing along with (eg. Twist and Shout!) Everyone danced - the custodian, the principal, all of the teachers and all of the students. At the end of the day, everyone was tired and laughing and in such great spirits. I honestly forgot to go and check how the fundraising part of the Dance-a-thon had gone. Four parents had come in to open the envelopes, count the money and complete the deposit form. We had raised $2,759 which is great for 250 students. Perhaps a little more money will come in on Monday. So all 3 of the "Fs" were accomplished: we had lots of fun, everyone participated (with or without bringing in a donation) so it was excellent fitness and we did some fundraising for special programs at the school. Thanks Robert and Elliott!

Nothing more to say, everything was excellent. Everyone had a wonderful time and we hop to organize the same event next year. Thanks again, we had a blast.
