Hopefully the hatching project will inspire some of them to become chicken farmers, too. <BR/><BR/>Boy, do I remember those PTO fundraisers! I was treasurer of ours for five years. We always had a Fall Festival with an auction. Too bad we didn't have any baskets or picnic table like yours. Gives me an idea for my grandkids' school, though.

I imagine hatching chicks must be one of the most exciting, awesome a fifth-grader or anyone else could do!
