The Mom 2 Mom Sale is progressive way to fundraise with the community. It allows for students, parents and the community to come together and support the schools. Sellers and buyers are in a positive environment as they are recycling gently used children items from one family to the next. The students are actively involved learning not only about communications but about the value of how to host a fundraiser and the daily operations of getting each task done to make the event a success for the sellers and buyers.
