[quote=Anonymous]So I am a brand new DCPS parent (PS3'er) and new to the world of school fundraising (except for memories of all the things I had to sell door-to-door when I was a kid- Christmas ornaments, popcorn, magazines, you name it. I firmly believe that with the possible exception of Girl Scout Cookies, no one ever truly wants things that get sold door-to-door.) So I got my first fundraiser sales request in the bookbag today, and it's kind of a sugary mess- candy, cake, chocolate covered cheesecake drops, etc. I have no desire to have these things in my house, and I have no desire to sell them to my friends and neighbors. I assume the profit margin for the school on these things isn't that high, and I'd much rather just donate the money than spend time on this and support the diabesity epidemic. But I also realize that that is a very privileged perspective, and I don't want to be a non-participating jerk. What do veteran parents do for these things?[/quote]
