48% seems like a pretty big cut - especially considering all of the negatives we are hearing about.
Do you have a set fundraising goal you want to meet or a list of items or services (like a volleyball) the community could buy or donate? It's easy to set up a wish list on Amazon for books and many other items that get shipped right to the school.
One fun fundraiser is for kids to collect spare change they find. It's an entertaining thing for the kids and doesn't have to be a competition or take up a lot of volunteer time.
One fundraiser we did was have the kids do drawings that we put on notecards and sold. I am sure many Sowal shops would be willing to sell something like that for you at far less than a 48% cut.
We also used to get pledges based on how much we read - either by book or page. I found that friends and relatives would much rather do that than buy something.
