I wonder how much $ the school will raise.

well 2yrs ago the PTO minutes report that the Carnival "grossed approximately
$16,000"

I think they have added bouncy houses since then.

Yeah that's true, but gives you an order of magnitude. But doesn't answer the question of what the rough net proceeds are (I guess subtract (# of bouncy houses)*(going daily rate for a bouncy house)? But also food costs..

Unfortunately I never went to one of the PTO mtgs--not sure how transparent they are with their financials. 

I would be interested in seeing if there are diminishing returns after -say- 5 bouncy houses, culminating in a break even at 7.

...for a total profit of $30k?
