Can Bake Sales Fix the National Deficit?

For Halloween and Thanksgiving, the school put on bake sales as fundraisers for various departments.  Now, if you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking “oh, that’s a cute way to raise a bit of money!”  Wrong.  There is nothing cute about these bake sales.  Nor is it a “bit” of money we’re talking about.  These bake sales were OBSCENELY HUGE and incredibly profitable.  The proceeds brought in from the sales of cupcakes, brownies, cookies, bars, cakes, muffins, hot dogs, and whatever else I’m forgetting are large enough to fully fund the scholarship for multiple students to attend this school, not an insignificant amount. 

I’ll never again discredit bake sales as a waste of time…
