Schools Fundraisers For Elementary Schools

Schools Fundraisers For Elementary Schools

            Schools fundraisers that involve elementary school students are not only fun for kids but for parents and relatives as well. Students in elementary school are pretty energetic, which is why they work great as volunteers or participants in different school fundraising campaigns.

            Kids in elementary school are not only energetic but enthusiastic as well. They are really good to involve in schools fundraisers because they help bring in a fun factor to the mix. A team of energetic people is one of the most vital components of a successful fundraiser and if you recruit kids to your team that’s what you’re going to get. You can even boost the energy of kids even more by including prize programs in your fundraising campaigns. You can try to give out different prizes for a certain number of kids who get to make the largest number of sales at the end of your campaign. In this way, you can get all of them pumped up to work hard and sell out your products to people in your community as soon as possible.

            If you are at a loss for exciting fundraising ideas for your school, let me give you a few that might work really well for you. First are challenges. These can be in the form of triathlons or bike-a-thons. In here, you can organize a race for your students to be involved in. You then advertise these to parents, relatives, friends, as well as other people in your community who will be interested to watch cute kids do their best on the race track. You generate funds in here by setting a registration fee for your guests. You can even pair this up with a snack booth where you can sell out different food items that your audience can enjoy while they’re watching your students towards the finish line. On the other hand, you can also do this event in a different way by letting your kids ask for pledges from their parents and relatives for each lap that they get to finish. For instance, parents can pledge to donate $5 for every lap that their kids get to go through.

            Next to challenge events are healthy fundraisers. Even though people are still crazy about candy bars, cookies, and chocolate, healthy products are now starting to gain huge amounts of popularity to people because of their desires to start living healthy lifestyles. Because of this, a lot of schools are now looking at selling bottled water, low fat cookies, and fruits. The low fat cookies and fruits can be sold through an order-taker kind of way in the sense that you’re going to have your team of volunteers go around your community to take orders from people and after you hit the deadline for taking orders, you can then get your supplies and have them delivered to your customers. Bottled waters on the other hand work great if they are sold in parks during weekends where people usually go out to jog or walk to get some good exercise.
