School Fundraiser ideas
I am looking to get some fun and different fundraiser ideas for my son's 5th grade graduating class. They like to do a lot for the 5th graders so will need a lot of money.
We do a 5th grade snack sale every half day
Pencils and grams especially for BTS night
dine in/out fundraisers
sell chocolates... etc
Anything else? The school does a lot for the whole school as well, which is 1st - 5th.
We do a color run, Bingo night, dine out events, selling stuff, etc.
Want something different for 5th graders that is different than we already have done or we do for the whole school.
Thanks!

School Fundraiser ideas
5th grade chair committee here! 5th grade fundraising is exhausting! We had a plan to fundraise early and we have already exceeded our goal. We have done movie at Bellmore playhouse, Carvel for after the spring concert, Pampered Chef online, 2 car washes. Currently doing Chocolate Sale, fall plant sale and KidStuff coupon book sales. We also did raffles at 2 school BBQ’s. We still have little things here and there but the last 2 big events will be Bingo and Night at the Races.
We were very lucky and got a rather large sum of a donation from a company that a parent works for. Last year’s 5th grade class found a parent who’s company they work for did massive amounts of company matching for non profits. Also selling journal ads for the yearbook.

We ask for $40 per family to cover the cost of their events for the year and we are allowed to do one fundraiser. This year we are doing David's Cookies. Last year they sold mums in the Fall and wreaths in the winter. We had excellent participation with the $40 though. It was less work for the parents and we were set with all our money for the year.

I love that idea. I would gladly give double that to not have to deal with fundraisers.

Do you do a book fair? Usborne books gives the school 40% of the proceeds I believe. My boys school is having one

We don't do a separate fundraiser for the graduating class thankfully but, we are looking into adding a Boon Supply fundraiser (tote bags).
Do you do a Yankee Candle fundraiser as a school? That's a good fundraiser - they give 40% back.

I was going to suggest the Yankee Candle one too. My son's school also does Fun Pasta..I think the company is called Pastabilities and that is a popular one too. I'm not sure of the cut the school gets though.
