God bless you all. Even underdogs win sometimes. Teachers are not appreciated because people do not believe all we do. Thank you for guiding our youth and teaching with your heart and wallet. In my eyes you are already a winner. ❤️ 🏆

Of course our best wishes and thoughts are with you throughout this process. i wish I had known you were going through this as I have a few ideas that might have assuaged some of your challenges. Sounds as if you didn't have an appropriate time line to implement the needed resources for this event. Just for future reference, there is an organization called Doner's Choose that is for teachers to request funds for classroom supplies and events. You write a short grant (similar to what you wrote here) and people donate to your cause online (very high success rate of receiving your request especially because small amounts can be donated to your grant). Also, some banks/credit unions offer annual grants just for these types of events.
There should have been more support from your school district in terms of supplying a bus and substitute coverage, but I'm sure you are more than aware of this so we won't go there.
Are you a National Board Certified teacher? Frequently, the district will pay more for an NBC teacher and your dedication to this event could be incorporated into this process. It requires time to obtain, but will offset some of the money that teachers frequently pay out of pocket and is a prestigious title to obtain that assists if you are considering out of the classroom position or moving to another school.
Lola your efforts are so appreciated. This event means so much to your students and will make an impact in their lives. It is the camaraderie and process that will be forever remembered, not about the winning. This is the heart of teaching that I know you are so well aware of. Teaching is a life well lived, you have made a difference in the world. You will survive this event, in spite of all the challenges and lack of support. Much respect and well wishes coming your way!

Sounds like your district has taught you to become a master at making “Stone Soup”. Good luck, and I hope your students have a really positive experience!

@lolakimono The struggle is real and I became overwhelmed by the post about midway. I PROMISE YOU THIS, as soon as I hit enter and submit this response I will get on my knees and say a prayer to the Infant of Prague that you and your students have a positive experience today and that the students feel a sense of pride that they were able to attend this event, regardless of the final outcome.
