A great movie that people can relate to at that age, and that isn't a typical cheesy Christian movie, is Facing the Giants....maybe you could organize a movie night or something and rent that movie. It really brings the Gospel message to those who watch it (without being blatantly obvious about it). If you haven't already seen it, check it out!
You sound like a sweet girl with a great heart for God. I'm sure whatever you do will be very pleasing to God. God Bless and don't let negative people drag you down!

Ideas...
Pizza and popcorn and Bible study where each person is to come with a Bible passage to read and what it means to them, this could be personal, some archaeology they heard about or read up on etc. (1 big rule... no criticism that doesn't have a scriptural backup and you must be willing to have people criticize or add to what you have brought without feeling insulted! and if anyone says stupid etc. then they pay for all the pizza next time! :-) )
Hike to the top of some hills in a nearby park ... same idea as above or where 1 or two people will give a testimony and then in the open air sing a few hymns or songs (a few photocopies of the words and songs that most of people are familiar with).
P.S.
Hey the one idea up there was a good one... a Samaritans Purse club... a few meetings to talk about the places where the shoe boxes might go, what might be the best items to put in them (pencils, pads, t-shirts, tooth brush, tooth paste....) Get each member (or as a group) to read up on where the shoes boxes go from your area and what the needs are. http://www.samaritanspurse.org/
P.P.S
A studies of the early church and great Christians. Mother Theresa died just over 10 years ago, William Wilberforce and his fight against slavery in England, John Newton (slave captain to preacher and wrote Amazing Grace).... the list goes on!

My adventure to organize a thing is time the bible gives [ bible time and world history time ] with all the meaning it has in agreement with the bible, it gives me every reason to be on the side of God as close as can be.
I do it all beyond a doubt, but what about all the people in the world that's told [ and believe it ], there is 4004 years to Christ, [ what is is for real and why ]?then the present year is 2007 CE. Is this thing correct?
I would love to be with ten or more people to see if all, after every thing is examined, [ new moon to new moon for years to add up as given ], could come up with the same answer as there are so many that now exist and all of them are different.
Most timetables are "take my word for it", but the bible time and world history time should match and proof given in every form possible [ I am one who loves math and this might be the thing for math lovers ]. Another thing that is in need of being made known is, what is this time all about?
Why is there a time frame [ what was it ? ], for Christ Jesus to be in Rome world Empire #6, why is the present year 2007 CE?
Adam died year 930, how long before flood, next 9 sons after Adam died and how long before the flood, how many years before Christ [ for math lovers ],
Noah was son #10. He has 350 years life after the flood. Shem has 502 years after the flood. How many years after the flood will it be to Abraham and Moses?
Abraham was son #20 in the genealogy of Jesus Matt.1:1-17; He gets the
Promised land covenant at age 75, and how many of these sons are still alive at how many years after the flood [ for math lovers that really believe in God ]?
When Abraham dies at 527 years after the flood, how many of the 10 sons in the genealogy of Jesus is alive, when did Shem die, before or after Sarah?
This is the kind of 'things' I love, the kinds of Challenges, the kind of organized. Does the correct time, hold a better meaning for the bible?

Get with a few others that you know are Christians and start a Christians Serving Others club. You go and serve the special needs kids. Serve faculty in areas they might need help. Serving other clubs and groups at your school. Remember one of the biggest tools Christ used to get his message out, "I came, not to be served, but to serve." You will be amazed by the response you receive when you reach out and serve others.
Blessings

Its commendable that you want to share your beliefs with others. A great idea would be to make up fliers and invite your group to a local church. Talk to the pastor and ask if that would be OK and if he could make a special sermon. Maybe afterwords everyone can get together at the local park and share their thoughts. Everyone can bring a food item.

If you're a Christian, you'll understand this answer.
Pray that GOD will show you what HE wants you to do.
I've seen kids doing amazing things for the Lord:
1)Packing shoe-boxes of gifts for Christmas time.
2)Collecting pennies or spare change for research.
3)Adopting/sponsoring a child:
World Vision, Foster Parents Plan, Christian Children, etc.

I have a daughter your age, I am agnostic in belief and Jewish is history.
If you were trying to get my daughter to accept your religious beliefs during school hours I would let the principal know I did not approve of it and I would tell my daughter to ignore you.
Your religion belongs in church and in your home, not at public school.
Now, If you want to live the positive principals your church teaches you and be an example, maybe that would accomplish your goals without sounding like an 8th grade preacher.....which most kids would not appreciate anyway.
Good luck and best wishes.

Live by example. Approach your school councilor and volunteer your time. Some schools have peer support groups for kids who are having a rough time.

Maybe you could help set up a multi-cultural club? im agnostic so idk about diversity at christian schools but its really a wonderfull way to teach people to love and respect diversity and culture, and fight racism, seems like it would fit in with christian beliefs well. I can give some advice on setting up a club if you need any.
