In May I'm going on a field trip to Niagara Falls with my "advanced" Earth Science Class. I want to know ideas to raise some money. I'm already planning on doing a raffle with candy in baskets and a car wash with one of my friends. I probably need to raise $1200 so it will pay for the trip and I will have some extra spending money. I can't get a job so I wanted to get some new ideas. Thanks a bunch!

I'm an elementary school teacher, and I've had the most luck with Breakfast Sales. You can get Starbucks to donate all the coffee and cups. You can get local grocery stores to donate muffins. Get parents and others to donate plates and whatever and advertise it to the school community as much in advance as possible, the more notice you give the better your turn out will be

If you have a Sam's Club, they sell candy in bulk quantity's, These can be sold at School games, or even at other school activities like intermission during school plays. The raffle sounds wonderful as well as car wash. There are also other things you can do such as yard clean up for people who do not have the time or are in-able to do because of physical disability. Also get permission from your school to sell candy on school grounds during lunch or just before class starts in morning. As it is for a good cause they may let you. If you had help from parents, and teachers you might work as a group and run a school carnival. All of these things are worth a try, Good luck to you.

Raffle and car wash are a good start. How about snow shoveling or lawn mowing depending on your weather?

Sell candy at school (if this is allowed). Contact fundraiser organizations and see what they recommend.
