[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I refuse to participate in fundraisers in which an outside company gets half of the donations. I write a check to the school once a year that is designated as a donation to the school. I do not need gift wrap or cards or candy, and I do not need to support outside companies. I particularly dislike companies that encourage students to call or write to far away relatives or friends, or entice kids to sell more with the promise of "bonus gifts." I love fundraisers like Spaghetti Nights or dances or Bingo Nights. These activities raise money while also bringing families together to get to know each other better. [/quote] Great post--in complete agreement. The push to sell magazine subscriptions at my student's middle school was aggressive. It felt like they were putting way too much pressure on selling/fundraising and not enough on the important things like education and the school community.[/quote]
