Some great fundraisers at schools happen during the holidays. For instance at *********, you can sell wrapping paper and gifts. At Valentines day you can send roses that are sent with a message to a valentine. You can also do bake sales and car washes, all of which can be very successful. Car washes work well. Pick a high traffic intersection. Selling candy is a lesser choice, due to the cost of product and low margin of money received for the effort. It also has higher logistics of taking orders and delivery. Consider an auction of students / slaves. They agree to work, such as mowing the lawn or cleaning, for an afternoon. Bidders pay for their day, and all money goes to the school.
