inflatables are always a hit.
If the children reach the desired goal, renting an inflatable obstacle course and having it done during PE is a great treat. Once the Principal is on board, it is easy. Who wouldn't want the kids exercising as their reward! (We just don't tell the kids that it is good for them!)

If possible you can tie in the inflatables during the PE classes during the day and have a Family Night that night with the same inflatables and charge a $1 for each time through. A few snacks and drinks for sale and you are headed for paying for the rental!

What about a free homework pass?? Or an assembly or something like that.

We had a record profit from one of our main fundraisers last year, Pie Sales, I came up with the idea that we are going to give the kids the goal this year to beat last years profit and if they do.... the principal gets a PIE in the face!! We will take the names of the top sellers in each grade and draw a name for who gets to Throw the pie!! Our kids are very competitive and I think this will get them involved in selling the pies if they think they might have a chance at throwing a pie in the face of the principal!!

I like the ideas of a special privilege like a movie or, following love and logic-- an extra recess on the new equipment is a perfect and logical reward!

Our kids raised the money for their playground as well. To celebrate once the equipment was installed, it was a school-wide party with all classes getting time outside to enjoy what they helped to create!

What about a special showing of a newly released Movie for all that achieveed their goal-- It could be done during school years with the principal's approval or right after school-- Won't cost much money to put on--
You could give out popcorn and a drink or a small bag of candy- and if you don't have a popcorn machine, talk to your local Movie theatre-- a lot of times they will donate a big bag of popcorn for such a good cause.
