My School Dance Team Ideas (& Fundraising)
Hi :)
I just got a dance team started at the middle school I work for, and we have 11 girls who made the team.
I was wondering what I can do for them on a very limited budget... like I really want them to get little trinkets and whatnot... little gifts here and there for working hard... but I have no clue what to get them.
Being that we are a NEW TEAM, like we have no money. (Uniforms are self funded). So I also need really good fundraiser ideas... but I can already tell you ideas that are out:
-Selling Candy (Can't be sold during the school day).
-Carnation sales (Another organization is doing that).
-Car Washes (Pending, depending on approval)
Any other suggestions... I just really want this to be a succesful program which is why I got it started in the first place, these girls need to be involved and I felt I needed to something. Another reason why I am on such a short budget is because I am only a teachers aide (not making teacher salary), and a full-time univeristy student with BILLS. SO yeah...
Any ideas or suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
They could sell buttons that go on back packs that say "i support the dance team!"
then could sell cookie dough, thats what my soccer team did and we made 4,000!!
Offer for them to throw and host the next schools dance, and they could keep the profits as a fundraiser.
Lemonaid anyone?
Get cheap Tshirts that show school spirit and sell them during lunch or in the hall.
Have the team hang out as team bonding and make jewlry, then sell it to other students.
Things you can reward the with is cool things like necklaces, bracelets, candy, sunglasses, nailpolish, sparkly hair scrunchies that match school colors, cheap fun eye make up that they all can wear during recitals(obviously school color, or even temporary hair dye spray in school colors(to wear during recitals)
Good luck!!

well my high school dance team sponsored a zumba fundraiser. i assume you know what zumba is because you dance? but if not, google it. basically they sold tickets during lunch and at the door and the money went to funding the team. i've never done zumba so i dont know if its appropriate for the age group youre dealing with.
my tennis team had window clings made that had our mascot (wildcat) and an "S" on it for the first letter of our town. they were super cheap to make and we sold them to people in school or in town. (make sure to make them universal, not just related to the dance team so that more people will buy)
also we used to do car washes. so we would have some parents help out and then have some members of our team go to a dunkin donuts or our local grocery store to stand outside and collect donations. we also had our window clings there to sell. you could also sell baked goods there.
hope i helped! and good luck!

I not sure where you are but where i'm from we have a Micheal's and Joan's, which are art stores. You can make little trinkets and bows from there, and have a nice bonding experience with the team while making them. And other than the ones you listed, you can have the parents donate. Do stands of lemonade, cookies, and others to raise money outside of school. Hoped I helped.
