  High School 2007

To become Turkey Teachergobble, gobble,
gobbleyour teacher must

• Raise more money than the other teachers at NFHS.

5
When will this happen?

• Collections in every class begin Wednesday,
  November 7, and continue through Tuesday,
  November 20.
• Each day, your teacher will ask for cash, checks
  made out to North Forsyth High School and
  coins, too.

6
What then?

• Your teacher counts the money and sends to Mrs.
  Holland every day.
• Mrs. Holland will NOT disclose how much money
  individual teachers collect, but she may tell who
  the front runners are through the campaign.

7
Whats the money used for?

• A part of the money (1500) will be used by the Y
  Club, a great service club, throughout the year
  for service projects and for bus transportation
  to conferences.

8

• The rest of the money will be used for
  compassionate care for those suffering from
  HIV/AIDS in Africa and India.

9
What is our Turkey Teacher history at NFHS?

• Last year we met the Y Clubs goal AND we raised
  5029 for the hungry in Africa.
• Over the last 7 years, weve earned around
  35,000 in Turkey Teacher, which has gone around
  the world helping those in need.

10
Why do we send the money to other countries?

• Because the need is so great.
• AIDS has killed at least 25 million people
  worldwide, and another 42 million are living with
  AIDS or HIV infection.
• To put those numbers in stark perspective,
  imagine the population of Texas dead and
  California's residents slowly dying.

Okay, so how does it work?

• First, your teacher needs a collection
  container.maybe one from the Y Club.maybe one
  you create for your teacher.

13

• Second, the teacher passes the collection
  container in your class and every other
  one.every day.
• Next, the money and checks are counted and
  recorded.
• Then, your teacher turns in the money and checks
  to Mrs. Holland in room 831.

14
What makes it fun?

• Maybe your teacher will allow his classes to
  compete.in a friendly way of coursefor top
  honors.
• Sometimes the top earning class of a teacher will
  enjoy a privilege the others do not like a
  tasty treat?
• Sometimes teachers set a goal and rewards
  students for reaching that goal together.

15
Why should I ask my parents if they would like to
give?

• Because they will be delighted that you are
  asking for the sake of others.
• Because they may have been looking for avenues to
  give charitably already, and this cause is a good
  one.

16

• Because their giving is tax deductible, whether
  for their personal income tax reporting or for a
  business donation.
• Because you will never know if they would like to
  pitch in unless you ask.

17
What if I just cant give much?

• Just like the people we are trying to help in
  other lands, we value you for who you are, not
  for what you can give.
• Just participate at the level that you are able
  to, because your class is a team, working
  together for a good thing!

18
Are there prizes for my teacher?

• We hope so! The Y Club is offering
• 50 cash for the top teacher, the TURKEY TEACHER
  of NFHS
• 40 for second place
• 25 for third, fourth, and fifth place
• ALSO, the teacher who raises the most money will
  receive 50 to be spent to reward his/her
  students for their generosity.
