Better check with your city or county attorney *ASAP* -- raffles that give away money raised are usually ILLEGAL.

Yes, I'm afraid I'd have to agree with the first response, I do believe this type of raffle is illegal, since you are directly profiting from the ticket sales. You might also want to check with your school policy (talk to your principal) because my guess is selling things on school property for profit will also be a violation of policy.
