High School Fundraising

I am a class representative in my high school, and I am trying to think of some good ideas for fundraisers. We already sold a bunch of candy last year, but this year i want something more unique.

What are some fundraising events/ideas that are/were successful in your school?

sell tamales.
the ones my mom made sold very quickly.

Please visit www.renaissancebandboosters.co m If you would like to help send Renaissance High School to Europe. There will be a PayPal account up ...

I'm the sophomore class treasurer and we have to come up with ideas of fundraising, these ideas need to be passed by the office and principal...
any good ideas?
the more creative the better. we aren't allowed to have repeat fund raisers as the freshman, juniors, and seniors.
Some ideas that are already done are...
the carnival
match making
bake sale
hot drinks in the morning - and snacks
after school snacks

some ideas I already have are:
smashing cars
water balloons thrown at teachers
gift wrapping at stores
goody bags with candy
sell magazines/lollipops/krispykreme doughnuts
sell roses and stuff on holidays

best idea gets 10 pts! and most creative!

My school did these little "secrest admirer" notes one time.
We had some really cute little cards that you could buy for like a dollar.
Then you wrote whatever you wanted to say,
and put who it was for, and what homeroom they were in.
Then you turned it into the little secret admirer box, or whatever, and whenever the delivery day was, the notes were delivered to the classes.

I also think the water balloon thing would have a good turnout, if you could find some willing teachers.

My school also had a day where they had bought food from different restaurants, and you could buy whatever they had during lunch..

It is for my grade and it will be done at school. Any ideas or suggestions on how to raise money?

Ask students at lunch to put bottles from soda into a special recycle can.
That way you help recycle and raise money.
You could also do a school fair or something similar like a talent show!

im in the school fundraising committee and we need some good ideas, preferably in school and for high school kids ... we have one good idea and its photos with santa someone is going to dress up as santa and kids can get photos with him

a bake sale would be good and if you can cook in the home ech room it would be on school grounds. or you could hold a basketball shooting or dunking contest and charge money for entry and give a small prize or a medal to the winner this could be for people in the community or just the high school

Any ideas? We tried selling bobas, selling cookies, car washes, and jumba juice, and made little as $200 we need at least $8,000 by the end of this year to go Tennesee where this conference would influence a group of 40 students of to become teachers and where they would sponsor the students scholarships, any ideas? Thank you!

There are companies that make discount cards for fundraising. Local companies give cardholders discounts. Your groups sells them usually making a 50% profit.

Throw a party where you feed people pasta, and people pay $50 for food, entertainment and maybe an auction. You can auction services provided by the students raising the money (i.e., babysitting, tutoring, helper for a day, etc.)

Hold a raffle after asking local businesses for donations

Hold a walk/dance/jog athon, or just a walk for education type event. Peopel pay to enter and/or get donations for miles walked etc.

Make & Sell custom designed calendars with your group's artwork or pictures

Create a cookbook. Collect recipes from students their families and friends. You can either print it yourself at Kinkos or there are online companies to do it for you.

Type in fundraisers in google and you wil lfind plenty. Also as your local PTA for ideas.
