1. Host a Family Fun Night - Invite families to attend an event at the school with activities, food, and games. Charge an entry fee or ask for donations in exchange for tickets. 2. Donate-A-Book Drive - Ask parents to donate books to the school's library. Have a contest to see which grade can bring in the most books.3. Silent Auction - Ask local businesses to donate items to be sold at a silent auction. Have parents bid on items with all proceeds going towards the school. 4. Walkathon - Have families pledge money for each lap that students take around the school’s track.5. School Supply Drive - Have parents collect school supplies such as pencils, paper, notebooks, and other items that the school can use throughout the year. 6. Bake Sale - Ask parents to bake goods that can be sold during lunchtime or after school. 7. Talent Show - Host a talent show and charge an admission fee for families to come watch the show. 8. Community Garage Sale - Partner with other families to host a community garage sale. All proceeds of the sale can go towards the school. 9. Online Fundraiser - Set up a crowdfunding page to raise money for the school. 10. Recycle Program - Have parents bring in recyclable materials such as aluminum cans and plastic bottles that can be recycled for cash.

Hi Leah,I have some ideas for school fundraisers that have been successful in the past. One option is a bake sale, where parents and students can contribute homemade treats to sell at a school event or during pick-up and drop-off times. Another idea is a fun run or walkathon, where students can collect pledges from family and friends for each lap they complete. You could also consider partnering with local businesses to hold a silent auction or raffle, with prizes donated by the community. Additionally, a school carnival or fair can be a fun and profitable fundraiser, with games, food, and activities for families to enjoy. I hope these suggestions help and best of luck with your first fundraiser!
