[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]News flash, OP!  Not everyone is you!!!  Shocking, I know.  I've got two older boys and a younger girl who is obsessed with everything pink and princessy.  So yeah, I do have plenty of barely-used costumes in larger sizes to donate.  If you don't, then don't donate.  I genuinely cannot fathom someone actually wanting there to NOT be a donation drive just because you don't have anything to donate.  If I am understanding you correctly, I think you are not a good person.[/quote]

OP here: My point is that NO ONE is donating - it would make perfect sense if a ton of other families had left-over costumes from years past to hand down - or if they wanted to buy brand-new costumes - but since no one is donating at all, I have to wonder if this project is not working. Honestly, I'm trying to be a good citizen of my new school and participated in the September drive and will participate in Nov's food drive and the Winter coat drive and I don't mean to begrudge anyone a Halloween - just wondering if other schools do this, and if other parents consider this a necessity.

Like I said, they specifically want new costumes, with a caveat that they are "willing" to take used ones as long as they look like new.[/quote]
They probably just want to avoid getting a lot of worn out junk.[/quote]
