school help: I need creative, tried and true fundraising methods. - Help.com

car wash! make sure the girls are the ones holding the signs out by the road.

car wash or do a raffle, sell the tickets for like $1 and bake cakes and cookies or buy a tv or something or do all of them!

bake sale or fair - parents make the cakes and have several fun stands that require money like egg races and hola hoop stuff :D start a competition between the classes - whoever get the most amount of money wins ‘XYZ’ and this could be anything from 1 lesson as free time to taking a trip to a local museum. Also advertising is your friend. Make sure you get them to make a banner and send letters/emails home to parents!

Raffles are always good. Get local businesses to donate items to put up for raffle and then have all the kids sell tickets. If you hold a competition where the kid in the school who sells the most tickets wins an awesome prize, it will motivate them and their parents.

Also, auctioning off student art, or since it’s spring, the biology kids could buy some seeds and start some plants in little starter pots and sell them. (Some plants might take longer than a month to sprout enough that people want to buy them, I really don’t know).

If any of the kids’ parents or family members own small businesses in the community or if there is a business that will help, you could ask if they’ll donate a portion of their products from a “specialty” item or set of items toward your cause. It could be like a local burger joint offering to donate 50 cents for every BBQ Bacon Cowboy Special Burger or a local hairdresser willing to donate $5 for every cut and color or perm.

Since it’s spring, planting season is coming up and the kids could see if people will pay them for yardwork, too. Perhaps parents could pitch in for more dangerous things like lawnmowing, but the kids could pull weeds or pick up garbage. In my hometown, the National Honor Society would get paid (by the Parks and Recreation Board???) to clean up the parks in the springtime.

id go with bake sale! mostly because i love to bake. but everybody loves to eat yummy foods :)

There are middle schools in Antartica???
I dunno, how bout selling chocolate

I agree with Nyx, that’s what my highschool did when I was on the student body council, we were able to make a couple thousand over a series of raffles. If you have that man kids at you disposel get them to canvas for you.

offer useless trinkets in exchange for selling loads of magazine subscriptions and choclates

3K a month. Come out with a monthly newspaper with advertising from the community.

Actually there are a few website that offer school fundraisers, teachers/schools set up the account and the kids can sell things online and offline, like candles, calenders and stuff, my daughter did it a few years ago, but I can’t remember the stupid website name. Yeah, I know not much help, lol

But there’s always google, I’m such a googler
