Well I went to kind of a rough school. We had brass knuckle spirit week, where we sold brass knuckles boldly emblazoned with our school logo, reversed to live a spirited testimonial to our school on whomever we hit.
Then there were "blaze-up" Thursdays where all profits from drug deals were donated to the glee club and varsity cheerleaders.
Flakey Fridays were also popular where for a 10.000 "pass" you were allowed to do drugs during your home room class. This was a truly popular fund raiser and it enabled us to buy a new school bus with the funds and football uniforms.

There is no such thing as a mandatory volunteer. If the work is mandatory, there has to be a penalty for not participating, and this fact is bound to come up early in the discussion. The idea will probably produce more resentment than anything. You're right in thinking that most parents of schoolchildren feel the school doesn't take their concerns seriously, and that they have very little power to change things. You might want to consider whether their beliefs are accurate, and make sure the school truly is open to parents' concerns, rather than assuming they are misinformed or shy, and trying to force them into unwanted involvement. In other words, they will be involved when they feel their involvement yields any real return.

We had to let people look in these books that had donuts, cookies, rice krispies, chocolate covered candy etc wrapped for certain seasons such as christmas, halloween, valentines, and easter. I also remember selling jumbo candy bars for a dollar. When i got in high school they upgraded a little bit. They had these cards for $20 dollars that you buy good for a whole year. It had offers like buy 1 get 1 free subs from subway, pizzas from pizza hut, and discoounts from sonic drive thru. In high school they also had the raffle tickets for a dollar for the senior class. We had to sell them to raise money and winners won free dinners and movie tickets.

selling magazines--rip off
selling candy bars--mind numbing
selling coupon books--rip off, in an actual "i feel like crap for guilting you into buying this" kind of way
selling frozen food--didn't even bother trying
and after all that work, they still cut extracuricular activities.
because my school sucks, and they keep cutting our funding

Sally foster, candy, etc. all the usuals.
Seems like Krispy Kreme donuts sell great, as well as candy (students buy it but you have to sell a load more).
