<p>So I just got elected president of my class (don't congratulate me, it was a joke of a race) and I - shocker - actually want to try to make some changes in my class, because, frankly, we have many issues. We have no money saved and have just a generally bad attitude, so maybe I can attempt to change that. </p>
<p>The main issue with the last student council was that no one even attempted to think of plausible, interesting fundraising ideas. </p>
<p>Have any of your schools had particularly enjoyable, lucrative fundraisers that may benefit my class as well?</p>
<p>I've been throwing a few ideas around in my head. We did "Bingo Night" last year which was a pain to plan surprisingly, but in the end was really fun and pretty profitable. We're definitely doing it again next year.</p>
<p>I've also considered doing a Mr. and Ms. BHS (the initials of my HS) which would be a talent show, spanning a range of talents. Singing, stand-up comedy, dancing, whatever. I actually think this is a pretty common fundraiser at most schools and have always wondered why we don't do it at our school. Also - this one's a little out there - but a dodgeball tournament. From what I understand, almost everyone (esp. boys) love dodgeball, so I think this one could gain some steam. We could get cash from entry fees/spectator fees and refreshments. </p>
<p>Any other ideas or input?</p>
<p>(One caveat: Our administration is pretty strict, so some good ideas may get shot down for a variety of inane reasons)</p>
