A classroom calendar with kids’ photos

For schools, teams, and children’s groups

Little Lights. Photos of kids you know. Funds for the group.

Three photo campaigns: a calendar, a shirt, or a keepsake. A parent or guardian must approve every photo. You sell. We print and ship. The group keeps the cut.

Three campaigns. That is the whole menu.

Pick the fundraiser. Same photo machine.

Hickory Farms and Yankee Candle sell a catalog. That is one campaign with a hundred SKUs. Groups freeze. We run three photo campaigns a group can rotate — calendar, shirt, keepsake. Not five. Not one.

How it works

Parents first. Then the press.

  1. You gather photos Only with a parent or guardian’s written OK. Team pictures, classroom portraits, kids in the program — never a surprise.
  2. We build one calendar Twelve spots, your school or group on the cover. Optional sponsor pages from local shops.
  3. Families order A private shop. Grandma buys two. We print and ship.
  4. The group gets paid $8 back to you per calendar. That is uniforms, field trips, or the hospital fund — your call.

Who it’s for

Anyone who can ask parents, not the internet.

Schools & PTAs

One class or the whole grade. A December fundraiser that is not wrapping paper.

Youth sports

Soccer, rec league, dance. Parents already take the pictures. We put them on the wall.

Kids’ nonprofits

Hospitals, foster programs, Boys & Girls Clubs. Honest fundraising. No contest that pretends a child “won.”

Why this is honest

We do not play games with kids’ pictures.

Every photo needs a parent or guardian. We do not run public votes on children. We do not sell a child’s picture to strangers as a prize. The calendar is for the families in that group.

A sample book so a group can see the quality before they send photos. These pictures are examples of the press — not a specific group’s book. Your campaign uses the photos your people send.
