[quote=Anonymous]Auctions:  Our school auctions off stuff that people actually want - not gift baskets.  We offer restaurant gift cards, tutoring services, trips, and the ones that are really popular -- front row at graduation, hallway at school named after child, front row for school events, breakfast/lunch/movie/craft time with teachers, counselors, office secretary, principal, etc.  (every year these bring in quite a bit of money because each and every staff member is willing to offer up time.)  I spend probably $300 on this because my dd wants to have breakfast with the counselor and lunch with her teacher and there are bidding wars.

Restaurant nites:  You have to pick the right restaurants.  Our school does McDonald's and the teachers work the fry station and the ice cream station and the kids love it.  The one thing that we realized was that not all restaurants really give you all the money at the end.

Giant, Target, box tops:  And really do a lot of reminders throughout the year letting parents know how successful it is and what your goals are.

As a side note, we also do a push for greater paid PTA memberships, each year the class that has the most pta members by some date in October gets a pizza party or an ice cream party.  And the classes get competitive and it helps to boost your numbers.[/quote]
