Are the students interested in doing this as well? If you have them excited, then they can get mom and dad excited somehow and raise money by way of bake sales or bottle drives... There has to be something in it for the kids though, so the tough part will be getting them wanting one.
Talk to a petstore, they may be willing to cut some sort o' deal being that it is for a school and educational. How old are the kids?

What are you going to do during the summer and breaks? Not attacking your idea, just posing a potential problem.
