[quote=Anonymous]The tree fundraiser is a tough one -- the boy scouts at my son's school do one and it's a lot of work, like an auction but you have to stand outside in the cold and in the end you end up bugging your spouse to go load 3 trees into the Outback and drive them to your backyard for compost bc they didn't sell. Unless you really push push push the community, one day of sales in a low-traffic location is not going to make money.

A nice -- and more inclusive and cheaper -- way to bring in community and raise a small amount of cash is to host a winter get-together, all ages welcome, in the school's gym/caf/multipurpose room.  You still have to pay the custodians et al, but you can rent some moon bounces or have indoor bowling or something, have non-Jesus is born crafts (snowflakes), sell hot chocolate and baked goods, collect donations to the toy drive (or whatever drive you do in the winter...mittens or winter pjs or whatever), show a movie...request cash donations at the door or sell tickets...

Good luck!  Sounds like you have a good bunch of parents!  [/quote]
