What we have raised so far… Once you divide that by the 95 students in 5th grade, we will be able to put $1.52 towards each student’s trip. So we need your help! We cannot raise all the money by ourselves. There are just too many students. Fund Raiser Profit Made Candy Grams $58.40 Pie in the Face $85.89 Total$144.29

So what are some other fund raising opportunities? Students selling candy bars Students selling candy bars We can order chocolate candy bars for the students to sell to friends and relatives. If we order at least 50 cases, with a case having 4 boxes of 52 candy bars, we can make a profit of $110 per case sold. That means selling 208 candy bars to make $110 profit. If we ordered only 10 to 24 cases, then our profit goes down to $98 a case. We can only participate in this fundraiser if we have enough interest. If we do have enough interest, then each family interested would have to sign out a box and either return the candy or the money. So, you would have to sell 9 boxes (1 case plus one box) to raise $
