⚠️VENT!⚠️
So there’s this event at my school called step it up (you might
know it to if the fundraiser it at your school as well) and it just
seems wrong to me. The whole event is just some guy getting you
to send emails to family, ask them to donate and get very
extremely expensive items for it that shouldn’t be given away at a
SCHOOL EVENT! They have stuff like an iPad and a VR
headset like WHAT?! Also the guy that presents it just has a
weird vibe that I don’t like. They have a presentation projected on
the wall and like half of the slides are GIFs of dogs dancing and
raining money! It’s like their trying to bribe you to donate like
parents are gonna do it anyway! You don’t need to be this
extreme people! They just give away free stuff like it’s no big
deal! One of the prizes is a slushy machine for your room but no
one’s parents are gonna let them keep that in their room!
Another prize was a book and a chicken pouch that they
advertised to be specificity for hiding candy from siblings and
parents?! Why are they telling this to middle schoolers?! It’s like
they want them to do bad things! At the end of the assembly
they RANDOMLY selected a person and told them they were
going to make sure everyone knew what was going to happen.
THEN THEY BASICALLY JUST GAVE THEM ALMOST
EVERY PRIZE FOR FREE!! LIKE WHAT???. Also one of the
prizes for donating is a $50 Amazon gift card but guess how
much you have to donate… 1000 DOLLARS!! like WHAT!?!
Overall this is a terrible event and they guy presenting it gives me
bad vibes and it should just not be a thing. Also the principle
organizes it but only the teachers watch it so they have no idea
what’s going on and step it up will probably keep coming. Also
like the name says the whole presentation was basically them just
says “but we can do better!” And then giving us another
completely absurd prize. So yeah.
