Question: Any one else have weird school fundraisers?

my daughter is in kindergarden at a public elementary school. Today they came home with fundraising packages for FROZEN MEAT!! LOL What happened to good old fashioned chocolate bars? This struck me as the weirdest school fundraiser. Anyone else has kids come home with strange things to sell?
i think they might be easier to sell if the prices were better, but they are about twice the price of all the grocery stores in our area, for smaller amounts

Answer: Maybe they’re trying to shift from candy and cookies to items that can be part of a healthy meal. My school does sausage and chicken fundraisers, and they are usually excellent sellers.
