School fair
A school fair runs on the energy of parents and teachers. There is a date to set, volunteers to find for each stall, meal sign-ups to manage and donations to track. Here are the steps, and what Filomy simplifies at each one.

Set the date and theme
What makes it complicated
Between the school calendar, the town hall and parents' availability, discussions scatter across group chats.
With Filomy
A poll shared by link lets parents vote on a date or theme, with a closing date and shared results.

Find volunteers for the stalls
What makes it complicated
The sign-up sheet pinned at the school entrance fills up slowly, and the drinks stand is always short of someone.
With Filomy
A named, multiple-choice poll lets each parent say which stalls and time slots they can help with.

Open meal sign-ups
What makes it complicated
Paper slips come back in school bags with cheques and coins, to be counted on a weeknight.
With Filomy
The registration form offers options (adult meal, child meal…) and calculates the total. Families pay the parents' association directly, with a unique reference.

Start fundraising
What makes it complicated
Donations for the class project arrive in different ways, and nobody knows what has already been paid.
With Filomy
The kitty, free and commission-free, collects donation pledges: each person pays the association directly and the treasurer ticks off payments received.

Bring everything together for families
What makes it complicated
Information is spread across school notes, emails and several group chats.
With Filomy
The Event Box gathers invitations, poll, registrations, kitty, guest book and photo wall on one mini-site shared by link or QR code (€49.90, one-time payment).

Collect photos and messages
What makes it complicated
Photos of the fair stay on parents' phones and are never gathered in one place.
With Filomy
An online guest book, reached by QR code, collects messages, photos and videos with no app or account. Moderation lets you approve each contribution before it is published.

Thank the volunteers
What makes it complicated
Thank-you messages get lost in the flood of end-of-year messages.
With Filomy
A personalised card with a message, photo, audio or video can be shared with all volunteers by link or QR code, free of charge.
