Have each class collect change from students within the class. At the end of the collection period, the class with the most donations collected can be declared the winner of the war. Motivate students to donate by offering an award, like a trophy for the winning class. You could even host game booths or a raffle that parents can participate in to fundraise for your school. Have teachers or students go around the school collecting pledges based on the number of successful slam dunks. A Bingo fundraiser is easy to organize and lots of fun for participants.
One of the most popular fundraisers we have seen this year has been the Discount Card Fundraiser. ABC Fundraising® has created the discount card fundraiser to be absolutely turn-key for your middle school. Instead of spending your time trying to find local vendors or merchants for your discount card, ABC Fundraising® will do all that for you at no extra charge! All you need to do is brainstorm a great list of local stores and then write them down on the merchant wish list that we supply for you. Next, Fax that in and ABC Fundraising® will go ahead and secure the merchants in your area for your discount card. Fundraising ideas for middle school fundraisers have never been THIS easy.
Find a respectable number of items for each child to sell to help the group reach the goal you are aiming for; anywhere from 5-10 items is a good average. Selling t-shirts is one of my favorite fundraiser ideas for school. With over 2 billion T-shirts sold each year, it’s not hard to see why schools have been selling t-shirts to raise funds for their schools.
Fruit is the first ingredient and they are an excellent source of Vitamins A, C, and E. Welch’s Fruit Snacks are also fat-free, gluten-free, have no preservatives, and come in over 10 varieties. If middle school fundraising ideas are looking for a healthier alternative to chocolate bars or lollipops, consider selling our Welch’s Fruit Snacks Variety Pack. “Catch Me if You Can, Pali” is a walkathon dedicated to fulfilling critical classroom needs at Palisades Elementary.
Think about setting up your soup stand at outdoor school events in cooler weather or at parent-teacher conferences or concerts. Invite local food trucks to come to your school and set up shop for the day. Another way to put students in charge for a day is to let them choose your outfit. You could dress as a clown or cartoon character (a great elementary school fundraiser) or as the school mascot (a spirited fundraiser idea for high school). A fitness challenge is a healthy fundraising idea for schools any time of year, but in the spring, participants can get outdoors. The challenge involves walking or running a certain number of miles during a certain period of time.
Then students can sell the candy bars at school events, stores or neighborhoods. Like raffle baskets, a themed gift basket fundraiser is a different way to sell baskets of items donated by parents, community members and/or local businesses. Create baskets with several different themes and auction them off by accepting bids on each basket, either online or at a school event.
Some great ideas for volleyball teams are selling cookie dough, candy bars, scratch cards, discount cards and candles. Yes, it’s nearly that time of year… the middle school fundraiser has come back around again. School administrators and PTO/PTA members should think outside the box when it comes to the type of fundraising ideas for middle schools. As of late, some principals and teachers have been helping their students take their fundraising efforts to the next level by upping the ante. A school trip is a fun and educational experience for students to learn about a variety of topics and interact with each other. The memories students gain from school trips are some that can last a lifetime.
