[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have received over a dozen emails, not including reminders from PTA/parents about Teacher Appreciation Week, plus the letter that was sent home for one child and not the other. Each email was from a different person, asking for slightly different things or the exact same thing. Only a few emails were tied to a specific class/teacher. They want money, lots of food, gifts (door prize), gift cards (door prize), door decorators, flowers, cards, wearing a certain color, special drinks, cooks, general volunteers, and supplies. Its such a cluster! I don't mind helping out, but get organized. Help me help you, and in turn we can all thank the teachers/staff/administration.[/quote]

Well, that's your PTA being disorganized and not an indictment of all PTAs of the world.  My PTA, in which I do not hold a leadership role, but which I am extremely grateful for, sent out 1 email 2 weeks ago, and a reminder closer to the date.  PTA is taking care of nearly all the week's activities (breakfast, lunch, flowers etc.) using PTA funds.    Parents aren't asked to do anything extra unless their class room parent is organizing something separate (gift card, meal, cards from the kids etc.)[/quote]
