[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mosby is a very diverse and large school.  It is run well (logistically) despite the size, but it can be hard to be noticed.  The PTA has a lot of good people...not snobby, just trying to help out.  The thing we noticed the most was how much school spirit there is and participation in all schoolwide events at night.[/quote]

I had the opposite experience.  I felt like all of the school wide events were poorly run, impersonal cattle calls.  When my kid was in 3rd, they had a museum open house in which all of the 3rd graders made museum artifacts.  The principal was there yelling at everyone to "move it along," such that we couldn't even read or appreciate any kids' exhibits.  The strings concert was similar, where the announcement after the concert was basically to get out and meet your kid outside.  For Einstein night, my kid spent a ton of time on his exhibit, but none of the principals, APs, or any of the teachers even visited his display.  It ended up being a complete waste of time.  I've had kids in other schools, too, and the other schools felt so much warmer, more inviting, and more nurturing.  [/quote]
