Trying to raise money for a chariatble foundation at school. Any good ideas?

Q. Okay, we're raising money for a charitable foundation, and we need good ideas. We already have done (and can't do again):

A raffle
Bake sales
Dress down day (where we can wear whatever we want if we pay like 3 dollars, instead of wearing a uniform)

We're already thinking of doing:
A movie night in the auditorium
An after school story time for little kids

Yeah. So anything other than those things, please list 'em! I'll give best answer to the person that gives the most ideas that I actually decide to use, so list as many as you can think, even if you htink they sound stupid. Oh, and the school goes from nursery to eighth grade, so all age group related activities work! Thank you!

Answer
A 'fashion show' where the kids or teachers dress up and put on a show for the parents, you charge for entry and everybody has fun.
A talent contest same idea.
Some kind of quiz or word puzzle. Get one off the internet or make your own, then people pay to enter and have some kind of chocolates for a prize.
Bag-packing at a local supermarket: put out collection boxes and smile sweetly ;)
Sponsoring form a local company, the kids parents might be interested of they have their own business maybe?
Teachers vs students (or parents) sports event
Sponored silence
Sponsored spelling event (the kids have a sheet of words to learn, and get relatives to sponsor them. At the end they all get tested and are sponsored for the number of words they get right)
Have an all ages crafts/cooking event, then sell the spoils.

Good luck with it :)

would you let a thirteen year old who is experienced with kids babysit your children?

im 13 and have been home schooled for the past 3 years and am looking for Volunteer work to do this year. i love kids which is why i was considering asking to help at my church's nursery or possibly babysitting. i have once watched a 2 year old for 8 hours strait with no assistance. but don't know if that would be enough to babysit some one Else's child(ren) any tips?

Answer
Well i've been babysitting since I was 11. I'm 13 now.
Although I have had red cross training and CPR training, it's not needed and a lot of times to get babysitting jobs I don't even have to mention it.

I suggest babysitting a family member or neighbor, and then they'll probably recommend you to people, and it'll just go on. I babysitted just the other day, and that same day i got another job because the neighbor I babysitted for recommended me to her friend. That day. And i'm no amazing babysitter, I just love working with kids - which is something that you seem you like.

I'm sure someone will hire you. Just start out with someone that knows you, and it'll expand.

Here's some tips about babysitting
-Charge about 5$ an hour. Make sure you tell them that first, so they don't cheap out on you. It's happens.
-Bring a bag of things to do, child safe things of course.
-Go to the home at least 5 minutes early to make sure everythings good, get emergency numbers and all that stuff.
-Don't just put the kids in front of the TV. Have fun with them!

If you follow those, i'm sure you'll get a job and be recommended. Babysitting is really fun and a good way to get money! Sure, your young so you'll have older teens that will be wanted more a lot of the time, but you just have to prove yourself.

Have fun and you'll get a job!
