but yea, it sucks.  we are boycotting it. some have complained to mccpta but they don't think it's a problem.  just boycott it.[/quote]

But I don't like that people are not made aware.  What did MCCPTA say?[/quote]
I got no response.  Someone else stated on this forum that they did get a response, which was "we don't see a problem with it".[/quote]

I am the poster from the other thread who contacted the MCCPTA about this a few years ago.  It's possible things may have changed now, so it's worth writing again, I suppose.  The exact response I got was as follows:

"MCCPTA does not have a policy on what fundraisers are selected by the local PTAs or how they are conducted.  Each local, however, does need the approval and follows the guidance of their Principal.  From personal experience, I believe it is common practice of certain fundraising companies to come in to the school for "pep rallies" to encourage students to participate. You may wish to express your concern regarding this activity to your local PTA and/or school Principal.

Frances Frost
