Just thought I'd let anyone who cared know:
We ended up raising over $30,000! We got a lot more money since I last posted about this, because several families (including mine) matched whatever their kid's class raised (my mom ended up paying a little over $7,000).. Also, we had a football game and the proceeds are going to Katrina victims, and there's a dance on Friday where the price of entrance is a minimum $5 donation, plus a toiletry item. Our school is going to try to become "sister schools" with a Catholic school in Louisiana, and we're going to give some of the money to them to help them get their school and community back on its feet. It's a good feeling!
