How money is earned:
Students sign up to work a shift in the concession stand, after they complete their shift the amount of time worked is recorded in a spreadsheet.
All expenses and profits for the season are recorded in the spreadsheet.
At the end of the season, the total profit is broken down into an hourly wage.
The hourly wage is calculated with the hours a student worked.
How the money is tracked:
At the end of the season the total amount each student earned is put into the class account spreadsheet, which is broken down by graduating class.
The student’s money will be kept in this spreadsheet until it is used or they graduate. If a student transfers schools, the money will stay in the account and can be used if they re-enroll at HFHS. If a student does not return to HFHS by the end of their senior year, the money will go into the student council account.
What the money can be used for:
7th-11th grade
Band/Choir trip, German trip, Spanish trip, Jr/Sr trip, FCCLA State conference, FFA state conference.

2. Band/Choir trip, German trip, Spanish trip, Jr/Sr trip, FCCLA State conference, FFA
state conference.

V. Procedure for using money
Figure out how much money you owe for the trip.
Ask Mrs. Kreger for an up-to-date balance of your student account.
You must pay out of pocket for your trip until the total amount owed equals what is in your student account.
For example: If your trip is $500 and you have $300 in your student account, you must pay $200 towards your trip before you can use your student account money.
Once you are ready to use your account money you need to see Mrs. Kreger.
Fundraising money may not be used for deposits unless the student can pay for the entire trip with fundraising funds.
When money needs to be used:
The money students earn will be left in their account until their senior year.
Mrs. Kreger will send out an extra reminder about any money left in a students account in March of the students graduating year.
The money must be used, or have a plan to with Mrs. Kreger to be used, by March 31st of the students graduating year.
Any leftover money will be put into the Senior High student council account to help fund student events.
VI. Miscellaneous:
1. Any student who has a balance in their account will receive a notice from Mrs. Kreger 2 times during the year.
a. December- Reflects fall fundraising totals
b. September- Reflects spring fundraising totals
2. Students are responsible for keeping track of what they owe for a trip and when they can use account money. Mrs. Kreger will send out reminders but the student needs to do their part to following through with needed paperwork.
3. Throughout a student’s career at the high school they may have other fundraising opportunities with groups or athletic activities. These fundraising efforts would be handled by the advisor/coach and are not associated with their student account and may not be transferred.
