[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am looking for a reality check - don't hold back.  Below is the intro to an email from the Janney PTA - I think there have been two similar emails earlier in the school year.  This aggressive badgering of parents started last year and I decided that I was not going to give a dime because I hate this approach and do not want to encourage it.  At this point I am prepared to send an email to the PTA Presidents and the Principal (I love her) voicing my displeasure at being harassed and shamed into making what is a VOLUNTARY donation.   What am I missing?  Am I wrong here?  Just the fact that they track families is disturbing to me!

"Hi friends!
We have just 145 families who have not yet made a tax-deductible donation to Janney’s Student Support Fund (yep- that’s you guys!). Please know that we appreciate & recognize the many contributions you all make to our school on a daily basis, but please also know that our DCPS-allocated budget is not enough to cover the basic needs of our school."

They should not have your email or address unless you gave it to them. The school is not allowed to share your information. 
So, if you signed up I guess that is on you.  If you don't like the emails just ignore them. Other wise make a donation that is reasonable for your family budget and move on. [/quote]
