[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours had a similar event as well. I thought it was cliquey, and when you added on the cost of babysitting and the fundraising tickets, it was an out of touch and very expensive fundraiser for our public elementary school.
The pictures of the event showed the same rich group of families. That event never sat right with me.

On the other hand, it raised money for the school, which is always a good thing. [/quote]

It is? What is the money for?[/quote]

If it's not for the PTA, then it's probably for a fundraiser their school "foundation" -- mostly minor pet projects of the plastic set. You know, some new equipment for classrooms here and there or amenities/enrichment for the students or staff, that sort of thing. Mostly, it's an excuse to have a party organized by and thrown by the bored wives of law firm partners who don't have anything better to do.[/quote]

Nice, great way to slam those who actually help.  Funny how you are posting here during work hours yet slamming sahm.  Get back to work.  [/quote]
