We sell Entertainment/Gold C books (I think the school gets half the price they sell it for plus if you have family and friends from out of state/town they can order too), have book fairs and do monthly scholastic book orders, we have sold cookie dough, had carnivals, garage sales, sold pocket calendars ( we did this in preschool), we have sold from catologs (like wrapping paper etc), area restaurants have a night where 10 percent or their sales go back to the school. Area supermarkets have where you have a code entered on your coutesy card and every purchase you make a certain percentage goes back to the school. We do pizza sales. Holiday pictures. My kids sports programs usually sell chocolate bars. I am sure there is alot I have not mentioned.... We do ALOT of fundraisers in public school.
If the children have sold alot usually the parents come and pick them up from school that day. All items the children picked up at school. The children are responsible for distributing the items they sold.
