I would suggest setting up a school store. When all the back to school material is on sale, visit some stores and get school supplies (pencils, pens, cheap calculators, white out and other things kids run out of too much) and start a school store. The kids can run it and learn about business and valuable math skills while you earn some money for field trips!

Selling candy bars is always easy. I allow my kids to eat it in class if they have purchased it to support the school.
Star-grams. For school plays/musicals, etc. Create a large star using word art. Print it out and then make copies on colored paper. Parents and friends write "break a leg" messages and then fold it and write to and from. The student helpers then deliver it backstage.
Refreshments at plays/musicals. Usually the snack shop is not open, but they always have an intermission. Purchase soda and candy or cookies, etc. at a warehouse club and then sell for a profit. When we did this there was nothing left over. Better to run out than to have extra.
Have a bake sale.
Sell candles from Home Interiors.
Car wash; get a local place to donate their business for the wash.
Raffle things that companies donate to you.
Contact Target corporate office. They are known for helping schools.
Usually you can not do things like students against teachers in a game, etc. that use the whole school unless it is an established club. This is how it has been at the school where I have taught.
Also, if this were my children... I end up buying most of what they sell. or baking the goods, etc. I would rather maybe just pay the fee for the field trip. It is usually around $5.00-$7.00. I would spend more than that buying their fund raising stuff.
I also teach though and did raise enough to take my kids to another country to build an orphanage. They ended up paying only $200.00 each.

Contact Krispy Kreme, cause they have a program where the kids can sell the doughnuts.
Also, some restaurant supply chains (similar to GFS (Gordon Food Supply) ) can team up with you, and you can sell bottled water, with the school's name on the bottle, or the organization, or something.
Also, coupon books are a HUGE hit.
Car washes also work... Or, you can have like an over night stay at the school, where they kids pay a certain amount of $$ and they can stay overnight, watch a movie, eat popcorn, play games... etc...

Fall is the number 1 season for selling candles. We have helped thousands of school organizations raise money with our high quality premium candles. You make 5 dollars a candle and we have had a group of 18 make over $2000 this year.

Sell Entertainment Books - if you teach math, you can even use it to exercise students' math skills & teach budgeting. There are even coupons for events & activities there so maybe you could even involve them in the field trip planning (where should we go? how much do we have to spend? how much can we save?)

Car washes are the old standby.
Craft sales, bake sales, chore auctions (auction off kids to do chores for community folks...whoever bids the highest for a kid gets them for one hour to do a chore around their house).
Have a charity game of basketball or softball against the teachers.
