[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have limited parent involvement - start with things that are NOT fundraisers as much as they are community building opportunities. A spring (or fall) fair with games and activities for the kids or a kids movie night. [/quote] I posted at 11:36 and I agree with this. The goal of your activities at this point is not to raise money. It is to build community and increase parent engagement with the PTA. Some other things: 1. How is your relationship with your school's administration? Having a productive and supportive relationship with the principal is very helpful. 2. Relatedly, establishing relationships with teachers in upper grades is very helpful. Some of my best friends at my child's school are teachers of 4th and 5th graders. They know which parents are likely to be more engage-able and are happy to make those introductions. [/quote]
