Most Successful School Fundraiser?

They've also talked about pre-selling school kits at the end of the year for the following school year. You pay a certain amount (I'm thinking $25-35.00). When your child goes into their class on the first day of school next year, all of their school supplies will be at their desk in a bag.

We used to do this but too many kids (and parents) like picking out their own school supplies. There is something about going to Target, OfficeMax, etc and getting your very own stuff

Our school's biggest (most money) fundraiser is a dinner/dance auction. The ticket price covers the cost of the food/alcohol/reception hall and then all money raised from the auction items benefits the PTO.

We also sell school calendars, with photos of the classes and each family member's birthdays (for the whole school) filled in. You order them in the fall and pick them up at the Winter Concert. That one does pretty well.
