We recently started a disc golf club at the middle school where I teach. We installed 9 holes and a practice basket last May. The response has been great from the students! Unfortunately, some jerks decided they needed a new Prodigy basket, took some bolt cutters, and stole the practice basket! The club kids discovered it, and were so mad! :wall:
It was the only basket that does not have a lock on it (it had been bolted in when installed, and when locks were put on, no one had a socket wrench to remove the bolt). Police reports have been filed, and the local club and PIAS have been notified, as well as local metal recycling centers. It had to be taken by someone that knew it was there, as it cannot be seen from the road.
This is why we can't have nice things....
So I have suggested to the kids to have a fundraiser to purchase a new basket. Do you all have any suggestions of things the kids could do to not only raise money for the basket, but advertise the club? We thought about selling minis, but the kids said the other teachers would not like that (very mature of them, I thought!).
Thanks!
