Thanks for the great suggestions. We do box tops, soup labels, milk caps, and reciepts from 2 different grocery stores in our town. They give us 1% of the subtotal of what we collect. We are checking into the sunnyd thing. It sounds like a great idea. Our school poverty level is high as well but we strive to do everything we can do for our kids. Our current adventure is the cookbook. Thank you!

Dont forget Box Tops, Cambell soup labels,and Sunny D labels-all free return whether money, books or supplies.
Our school has appx. 80% of our students on free or reduced meals and our PTO has to be creative
W/ approval from school board or whom ever get donations from businesses.
Pizza sales are good if payment is due around the 4-6 of month (everyone seems to recieve a pay at the beginning of the month)
Go on line and search search search-a lot of homework
We just sold cookie dough at our school and made a nice profit of $ 3700. We have 600+, but not all participate. We held a Fun Run and it helps us to sponsor, cookies with santa, mom/son event, march reading month, field trips, etc. We ask each child to raise $5-$50. Hope this helps. Restaurant nights, many nationwide chains, will hold a restaurant night or day and you can receive anything from 10% - 25% for the day from them. That may work as well.
