Try an ongoing fundraiser like selling laundry detergent. Sweat X is a sport detergent that teams can sell and receive $2 back for each bottle sold. They set up a website and people can order online - which means you don't need to collect any money. If 50 members sell 10 bottles each, the team would earn $1000. The best part is that the people who buy the detergent will most likely buy it again and you will keep earning money each time it's bought!
Some great fundraisers at schools happen during the holidays. For instance at Christmas, you can sell wrapping paper and gifts. At Valentines day you can send roses that are sent with a message to a valentine. You can also do bake sales and car washes, all of which can be very successful.
Car washes work well. Pick a high traffic intersection. Selling candy is a lesser choice, due to the cost of product and low margin of money received for the effort. It also has higher logistics of taking orders and delivery. Consider an auction of students / slaves. They agree to work, such as mowing the lawn or cleaning, for an afternoon. Bidders pay for their day, and all money goes to the school.

Some ideas for fundraising for a school in need include car washes or other events that the students can participate in.

Unfortunately, I am not part of a program with products that can be used for school fund raising. You could try Original Works at Originalworks.com. They charge a wholesale price to the organization and others at their suggested retail price.
I have 2 daughters in 2 different schools, and they have fundraisers often at each school. In one school, they have a magazine fundraiser, and then they also have a candy fundraiser. IN my other daughters school, they have a wrapping paper fundraiser at the start of the year, and then they also sell unique kitchen gadgets closer to the end of the school year.
