[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you hate Boosterthon so much then go ahead and organize your own fun run for the school. Get some volunteers to assist with it. Raise $40,000 and your school gets to keep it all! Heck, even just raise $20k which would be about your schools take if you went with Boosterthon. Look, it is very hard for schools to get volunteers to pull off a run like that and raise that type of cash.

I don't care about the 48%. [b]But don't spend my kids' in-school time trying to turn my kids into Boosterthon's fundraisers[/b].[/quote] Agree completely. Our school used to do the wrapping paper drive and would have a big pep rally (during school) at the start of the drive. It would whip all the kids up into a later about selling as much as possible so they could win the stupid prizes. My DD came home frantic that she "HAD" to sell all this crap. A bunch of parents complained (including me) and they now have no more selling fundraisers but instead just ask for a monetary donation at the beginning of the year. SO much better. Don't waste in-school time on this nonsense.[/quote]
