How can I make home schooling more fun?
Seeing as field trips are basically the only way for us to meet our classmates, I want to be able to help out and suggest locations and events we could have in my area. But since this is a free school, the only money they get is from the government and donations. So how can I help my school make money (They don’t really hand out chocolate sales and fund raisers, y’know) to do things like rent busses for out-of-state trips and go to museums that cost money for educational groups?

All you need to do is set up the field trip with the organization or business you want to attend. Then the parents should pay the entrance fee and the transportation – even *if* you’re in a state-wide cyber school.
I don’t think many parents would allow their kids on out-of-state field trips. I wouldn’t unless I came along – in which case I’d drive my kids and any other kids that fit in my car.
Your cyber school is part of a school district. That district will have funds available for activities just like their B&M schools. Have you even contacted your school or district to see what they can do?
Homeschoolers who are night owls do their work for 8pm til 2am and sleep in late.
Homeschoolers with sports activities do some morning work and then do afternoons in gymastics, at the batting cages, at the ice skating rink and them come home and finish up courses after dinner.
Field trips are an essential part, since you don’t have “auditorum” stuff like in a brick school.
So parents need to take you to a stage play once or twice a year, the zoo, a museum. A fishing trip with Dad qualifies. Going out to the County Fair qualifies.
You don’t have to set up things with your “classmates” to have fun. Just get to know other homeschoolers in your area and do things with them. It’ll actually be easier to get going and you’ll be able to do more than trying to organize things with people who don’t even necessarily live near you.
Don’t know how to help you, but this is definitely not a typical homeschool situation!
I buy one every year and they allways pay for themselves.

or maybe a fun run….a garage sale, anything like that.
