[quote=Anonymous]One thing you can look to do is either serve as the fundraising chair or community service chairs on the pta. Even if parents can’t give much, you can try to arrange partnerships to supplement and bridge the gap. You can apply for grant money, etc. So much of the external enrichment at a school is done either through parents funding it themselves as in the case of afterschool enrichment, or parents running it themselves. Lots of parents work full time and still find time to donate time. I work two jobs and have four kids as a single mom and I still volunteer regularly at the school as a room mother and have helped with organizing several school events. It’s about making that stuff a priority. While I understand the angst that people of more means find it easier to donate time and energy, you can’t use that as an excuse to disconnect from the community. [/quote]
