[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, that is very helpful. There is a campaign going on. A five year $20k/year pledge does shock me! You say this is a typical "ask" - is that simply the school's hope, or is this a common donation amount for someone like us? [b]We were thinking more along the lines of a $2k-$5k donation.[/b] We can technically afford to give the school $20k/year, although that was not our plan, and is a material amount of money for us.

This is completely fine! Don’t stretch for $20K.

When you apply to schools, they ask for sibling information to gauge the pipeline. The school already knows you have another child and will likely apply. The more competitive schools do have strong sibling preference and since they have a PK class, it’s easy to tell which one is yours. The best thing your family can do is be involved in volunteering and don’t be a PITA.

I agree to ask Jeff to delete. Click “report” on your firsr post and explain that you shared too much identifiable info. [/quote]
