[quote=Anonymous]I'm also wondering what kind of involvement you're looking for. Have you/someone asked the parents to do something specific and they don't do it? Maybe they don't know where to start. I bet if someone asked a parent with fundraising experience, for example, to write a request letter for a Friends and Family campaign they'd do it in a heartbeat. Or ask someone to take the lead on sending out info or drawing up a flyer to post to encourage participation in Bike to School Day to foster community spirit. Easy. Or to bring in a special snack -- popcorn's super easy -- for a pajama day. The next level of involvement may be to have parent volunteers help out in the classroom on specific tasks. Maybe I'm too Pollyanna about this, but I think most folks don't get involved because they don't know what needs to be done.[/quote]
