As a fundraiser, it sounds good but like it was said, you need to clear it through the school. My concern, as a mother, is weekly access to all that candy. I try really hard to restrict sugar at home so I would prefer a healthier fundraiser myself if it is to be one that is done as a regular activity.

We started selling freezer pops during a construction project since the a/c was out, and
they sold so well that we're still selling them even in the cold months. You can usually purchase them at discount or wholesale clubs for 2 or 3 cents each and sell them for 25 cents. Easy money if you have access to a freezer.
Just a thought.

Our school has done this for years and usually by the end of the year, our PTO has a profit of $800+.

We hold ours at the end of the day. All candy is priced at .50 cents with a few at .25 cents. The students earn rewards thoughout the week for good behavior and positive choices and once they've earned so many tickets, they can cash them in for a "free .50 candy item" coupon.

It's great fun and the kids love it. The parents even come to have their Friday chocolate fix LOL.

I don't know if this would be something the PTO rules agians but our Board of Ed does not allow any candy sales in the schools at all. The school would have to give you permission as it is during the school day and they are in charge. Hope this helps!

I would like to know if it is allowed as a PTO to hold a candy sale every Friday during the kids lunch periods to raise money. The PTO buys the candy and all the money goes back to the PTO.
Thank you.
