[quote=Anonymous]We have our kids in a north Arlington elementary school, and as I'm watching everyone get back to school, I'm struck by the number of offers that seem to go around to donate stuff to the school (supplies, classroom equipment, time), and it struck me that I can't imagine as much flows into the lower SES south Arlington elementary schools simply because there isn't nearly the same degree of wealth and resources. While we'll still contribute to our home school, I'd also like to be able to make contributions to other APS elementary schools/teachers to help out. Does anyone know how I might go about finding out what's needed or how I can help? Are there teacher wishlists posted anywhere? Can I make a contribution to another school's PTA?

Sorry if this is coming off as some kind of white savior thing, I realize that there's a good amount of presumption going on here and there's definitely a part of me that's uncomfortable even posting this because it seems to not really come off right. But it is coming from a sincere place of caring about the world outside of my privileged little bubble, and wanting to find ways to help when I can. [/quote]
