Some Cookie Rules to remember:
1. You may sell to your teacher ONLY-no other teachers. This rule is good for ALL schools. This will not be taken lightly if violated. All of the rest of school staff is fair game. Teachers are receiving an email saying that it is cookie season and that they should buy from girls in their class ONLY and to tell other girls no thank you.
2. If someone asks you to leave a booth site and you are not scheduled to be boothing there, call Julie immediately, and politely pack up and go home. Likewise, if you see someone boothing in a place that they shouldn't be, call Julie immediately. Cookie Booths on your own property can not be shut down by anyone other than the police-yes last year, some booths in LA County were shut down. We DO have a permit to be selling and running a business but it is not worth arguing with the police over this matter.
3. Your girls may only go Door-to-Door with an adult.
4. Be kind to other girls, yes we all have goals but remember, this is not a competition and certainly is not worth upsetting a child over.
5. You must have contact with the person to sell cookies, this means no "internet based" sales: ebay is off limits :) You can sell online-I did today in fact, on Facebook! But it will be delivered IN PERSON, WITH A GIRL PRESENT.
6. THE GIRL NEEDS TO BE THE SALES PERSON!! Please take order forms to work with you but when possible, please have your daughter deliver cookies. At the very least, your daughter needs to send a thank-you note FROM HER if she can not deliver cookies in your office.
This is not a parent sale! Cookies teach girls about business, about personal relations with adults, about how to handle money carefully, about gaining courage to ask people if they would like to help out, about properly handling a rejection or No answer, and mostly about the work/reward relationship. Cookies are not just a money earner-they are about learning a skill set that girls learn by actively participating. Cookies are not all about $$ and prizes
