Sac Bee Article Today

In response to at least five neighborhood businesses being targeted a few weeks back by a company in Illinois "representing" Cordova High School, there is a story in today's Rancho/Folsom section in the Sacramento Bee. (See original blog post HERE). The company, Spirit Solutions, basically wanted to collect money for Cordova HS from local business in exchange for providing free spirit supplies to the high school (posters, flags, etc...). It sounds good in theory, but the problems were: 1) The company is in Chicago, 2) The company is not in good standing with the BBB, and 3) Most importantly, there is no accountability between how much a company like this collects from the community and then disperses to the school. So local business could donate generously but then Cordova HS would possibly not see the full benefit of the donation because Cordova HS has no idea how much has been donated. You can see the story HERE. Sometimes the Sac Bee does not allow direct clicks from links from other websites, so if you have trouble viewing the story, then paste the following link in your browser and that should get you there. http://www.sacbee.com/folsom/story/475558.html

NOTE: The whole point here is to donate directly to a school. Please don't let a company like this deter you from supporting our local schools.
