Oak Mountain Elementary Strikes Gold When All School Budgets At All Time Low-- Thanksgiving comes early for Birmingham Elementary School

    BIRMINGHAM, AL, November 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Gold Valley announced today that its Gold Buying Events have now reached out to Public Schools across the State of Alabama. With the price of gold at a pinnacle of over $1125 per ounce and no sign of backing down, buying unwanted gold turns out to be a very lucrative way to raise money for public school programs where budgets are left high and dry because of the economy. Parents of school children in today's economy have little cash to give to these school causes but many have unwanted gold or gold they just don't use or wear anymore and this brings a new meaning to Gold Rush. Instead of trying to find gold they are now selling it to benefit good causes for many of the states public schools.

"Last week our teachers and staff raised a surprising $5000 from the sale of their unwanted gold to help our own Technology department to purchase a new server and router. Before this event we didn't know where we would raise the money because our budget was already spent. I was reluctant at first because of the negativity centered on buying gold, let's just say we were pleasantly surprised, It is truly a miracle and a true ministry, a truly great idea that I would have never come up with. The Gold Valley gave the school an additional $1000 for our Technology room, I am now pitching this idea to the entire county school board," said Jeanette Darby, Principal of Oak Mountain Elementary.

With the major success of The Gold Valley's in-home Neighborhood Gold Parties all across the country has now lead to a new direction in hosting gold buying events directly in the schools where teachers and parents can participate without the anonymity that surrounds an event hosted in a home.

The success of a gold buying at a school works this way: a principal of that school hosts the event and everyone from the schools teachers to the children's parents comes to sell their unwanted gold. The money raised goes to that school program that is in need. The Gold Valley then takes an additional 20% from the purchasing of the gold and gives it back to the schools principal.
