Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Dear Reader,
I go to King Philip Middle School. This school hosts three towns and is very active in fundraisers. In the beginning of the year a variety of seventh and eighth graders run for student council. There are a total of eight spots and four spots go to each grade. The student body votes on the people who should be on the council and then two weeks later after campaigning the school will announce the winners. You can set up something similier like that to. However I think it would be better if you get it assembled next year so you can get the most out of fundraising. Talk to your Principal about your ideas and try to get your peers and teachers involved. Some past fundraisers in our school...
-Beads of Hope (2 weeks Student Council sells beaded necklaces for $1 to raise money for Breast Cancer.)
-Box Tops For Education (Cut out the little Box Top coupons and drop them in the bucket near the office. Runs year round.)
-World On Fire (A fundraiser started last year by my history teacher. I raised $120)
-Readers Digest (Buy their merchandise and 40% goes to your school. Students can buy lots of prices depending how many tickets you get for how many issues of a catalog you purchase)
-Christmas Fundraiser (Math teacher told us to bring in one toy for kids for the holiday season)

You could have a danceathon,Car Wash, and or BBQ's. I can't think of anymore but I hope that I helped.

My school has a male pageant (sounds weird, I know) called Mr NameOfMySchool (lol). The guys have school spirit, are well-liked, etc. They are interviewed and there is a fashion show and talent show (most guys dance) among other things, then people vote. It's really funny and something a lot of people look forward to.
If you have a Sweet Tomatoes in your town, they do a fundraising program that's fairly successful.
You could also have a talent show and charge for admission and snacks.

Well, a couple we did this year are:
- Bake Sale
- Candy Sale
- Flower Bulb Sale (haha I know, corny, but we made a LOT of money!)
- Selling Cheesecakes
- Candles (A big hit are the Yankee candles)
- Car Washes
- Magazines
.. The possibilities are ENDLESS. :)
Remember-sell things for reasonable prices & always be friendly! :)

hey
a few of the students in my school are doing a car wash in the spring (sometimes soon) to raise money for the homeless
some other ideas are probably a children's carnival, a play, a buffet night, a talent show
thats all i can think of, but just be creative and think of what people would want to come to most.
