Fundraisers at DC's school?

What sort of fundraisers, if any, does your DC's school have to raise funds for the school? DS's daycare tries to do quite a few but they are just really stupid. The little stuffed teddy bear one was a complete waste IMO. I have heard of some doing cookie dough sales or candle sales but I can't imagine they really bring in that much money. Just looking for some new ideas to bring to the board! Also, does DC's school have a parent's organization? Are you active in it?

    Ours hasn't done one in a long time and I honestly can't even remember what the last one was.

    None which is what I love.  I pay enough in tutition that I don't need to do fundraisers.  The only fundraisers they do are for casues like March of Dimes.  My ECFE gourp does fundraisers though and they do things like a local restaurant the group for a day and the ECFE gets a % of the proceeds from the days sales, plant sales, make a plate or bowl thing (its a hard plastic plate or bowl and you (your child) decorates it).  I think they are like $10 each.  Butter Bread sales, Old Tiem Picture fundraiser.  A lot of the things are either food or events that you go to and the ECFE gets a % of the proceeds.  They also do a raffle at the spring and fall open house events and they sell t-shirts and bags with the ECFE logo.

    Daycare does them about twice a year, I think.  No, there is no parents' board or anything like that.

    They usually have a cookie dough sale (Otis Spunkmeyer) at some point during the year, and then a Sally Foster fundraiser right before Christmas.  Sally Foster has wrapping paper, cards, candles, gifts, candy, etc.

    I think both fundraisers are held through this same company.

    My kids' school has a different charitable donation going every month, but the proceeds are not for the preschool.

    For fundraisers they do two things:  1. dinner with the teachers at local restaurants.  A portion of the restaurant's proceeds during the dinner hours go to the school.  You just show up, eat some Chick-fil-a, say "hi" to the teachers, then go home!  It's wonderful.

    2. They book a fundraiser show with any moms who do Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, Mary Kay, or similar.  The saleslady mom comes in and sets up a display near the front door and you can order.  I almost never participate in these, though.

    Our DC/School is new and is adding a new grade each year. We have been there since Dec and have done the following:

    Boston Butt from Local BBQ

    Change for playground equipment

    $1 for valentine sucker brought to each child from parents or friends

    Consignment Sale

    Spring Fling

    Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
