Re: [ISTATALK-L] travel funding?

[Shannon Rosenkrans <srosenkrans@xxxxxxxxx>]

A school in our school district is in a similar situation. Besides some
fundraising, they did a carnival at the armory.  And had food to buy as 
well as
games to play. All proceeds went to the students going on the trip.

You may look for some grants as well.  But this may be a fun alternative. :)
Best of luck
