Homerooms can sell paper links (use school colors) for 10 cents each (or any price) and the links are assembled in a giant chain. Homerooms then compete for who has the most school spirit by building their chains as long as they can. Decorate classrooms or the gym with the paper chains. Provide incentives for the winning class, like a pizza or popcorn party. If necessary this can be paid out of funds collected as a project expense. Same idea can be used with traced hands using a theme of “joining hands to help Saskatchewan people” or with paper shoes to “walk” around school walls to aim for a “Miracle Mile”. Kids can write their names and a brief message on their purchased pieces.
Set up a huge container in the school where students will be able to see it frequently. Students and staff can drop pennies in whenever they like during the designated fundraising time. At the end of the project (before donating), the pennies can be used for counting exercises for younger grades. For instance, counting by twos, fives, etc. or how many pennies make a dollar and so on.
Divide each grade into homeroom classes. Each homeroom must designate a student as the “fly” and a small group of 5 or 6 students as the “architects”, however there can be more than one group per class. One grade at a time gathers in the gym, chooses a space on the gym wall and is then given 3 rolls of duct tape. Teams are given 10 minutes to find a way to secure their “fly” to the wall, 15 inches off the ground, with only the use of the duct tape. Students are encouraged to collected pledges for each minute their “fly” stays on the wall. Ensure that there are teachers present to monitor the competition, and limit the time to one hour. The goal is to be the highest off the ground to win bragging rights!
Who wouldn’t want to be a school principal for the day? Students and staff have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for $2 or $3 each to win a chance at acting as the school principal for a day. Keep in mind the “principal for a day” will require guidance from the school principal. Raffle sales can be set up around the school for ticket sales where everyone’s contributions are donated to Telemiracle.
First, find a sofa to use. This fundraiser involves raffling off tickets for a student and two friends to win the best seat in the house. Tickets are sold throughout the week prior to a game. Before a volleyball, basketball, or football game announce the winner. The winner gets to sit on the sofa with two of his or her friends. Make sure the sofa is in an ideal spot to view the game. For halftime, order pizza and sodas for the winner and guests.
Students pay $0.50 to $1.00 on a designated day and get to wear their pajamas to school. It's very easy. All you need is someone to go to the classrooms and collect the money. Consider having a contest for the ugliest or weirdest pajamas.
