Managing Operational Systems
The objective of the “Play Day” at my school is to have a safe event that continues to build on the culture and reinforces the climate of the school by join the community, parents, staff, and students in an activity that supports the school’s mission and vision. Part of our mission and vision is to support students socially and emotionally in a family atmosphere. This event will require parent volunteers, community donating supplies, staff monitoring booths and activities, and students engaging in mental, physical, and social growth in a positive environment.
The district is allocating $1,600.00 for the event, which includes: food, games, two-bounce houses, expenses from teachers’ booths and $300 for the unexpected. The unexpected expenditure would be face painting and or other games/ activities and other foods/ snacks, charcoal and lighter fluid, paper plates, napkins. I do not know of any other unexpected items until they come up. Our revenue will be nacho and candy sales which should be $350.00. This will go toward more games, prizes and the unexpected for the activities. Leaving us with $1,550.00.
The non- budgetary resources will be teacher monitoring booths, parents volunteering their time and supplies, churches donations, our school will host the event and supply the water for the one bounce houses, water for the water balloon, music/ DJ, tables, chairs, bathrooms, printed flyers, and clean -up crew.
The budget will be monitored by the principal, director of operations and myself. This will be my class project for PBL. We will write the supply list and the cost for this project. This includes a survey for teacher’s activities, what foods, and other activities. Our expected expenditure is $1,800.00. Thus, we need to fundraise to meet our goal for the tentative activities.
