[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope - our kids are not allowed to participate in any nonsense fundraisers. Talk to your PTA officers and teach them about the best fundraiser: put out a "buy nothing benefit" Parents "buy" nothing. Kids sell nothing. Parents make a donation, get a tax write off, and the kids at school benefit. [/quote] This is fine at wealthier schools, but, for those of us who are on PTA boards at schools with a lot lower income families, asking every family to donate money is just not an effective fundraiser. First gen immigrant families also don't really get what the PTA does or why you need to raise money, so even if they have the money to give, they may be reluctant to do so. [/quote]
