[quote=Anonymous]As I sit here eating my free breakfast provided by my admin, I am enjoying reading these posts.  The PTA plans these events.  If you don't like them or think they are over the top, don't participate.  Better yet, attend the PTA meetings prior to TAW and point out that you would like to tone it down.  I work in a Title 1 school so other than this muffin and juice, we get nothing.  We don't even have a PTA.  You are complaining about something you actually have a lot of control over.  My kid's school is a bit over the top too but I sign up to bring in ONE thing.  Some years it is something for breakfast or lunch.  This year, I sent in a gift card for a gift basket.  It seems like a big deal at their school but if I didn't want to participate, someone else would send something in.  If you think the teachers at your kids' school already get too much from the PTA, suggest adopting a Title 1 school.  I spend hundreds of dollars of my own money each year on student supplies, etc for my classroom.  So do my colleagues.  We would greatly appreciate school supply donations, etc at any time of year.  I just bought $25 worth of pencils back in March when I ran out.[/quote]
