Going to school used to be all about learning and studies. Today, however, it includes many other activities and "fun" events as well. But these special events and activities cost money. With cuts is school budgets for many schools and school districts the only option they have to pay for these events is for the school to raise the money in some sort of fundraising event.

When it comes to the educational system today, it sometimes seems as though the subject of Geography is not exactly a priority on the curriculum. Though maybe it's not so much Geography as it is map reading and comprehension. Few high school students would be able to pull out a Texas zip code map and navigate easily from one town to another. At least, not without a good GPS or some Internet access.
