[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I just Attended the popsicles on the playground teacher meet and greet at Brooks Elementary school today in Alexandria and it was such a sweet event. We have had some growing pains at Brooks/ previously Maury with the name change, new principal, and flight of Rosemont neighborhood families. It felt great to be surrounded by our wonderful teachers, our incredible new principal who leads with empathy at every turn, not being weighed down by our terrible old name, and frankly not having so many grumpy parents with one foot out the door. The Brooks Bee hive is here to thrive! There are small class sizes and big hearts and we’re ready for a good year! We still have plenty of issues to deal with like PTA representation, classist fundraising, TAG representation, and more but I’m hopeful and Ms. Hess is awesome!

What in the world is “classist fundraising”?[/quote]

My child went there, and I don't disagree with this.  I was always super put off that parents could "buy" principal for a day and other similar (bowling for a few friends with their teacher)  things for their kids in fundraising.  Honestly, I could've brought that for my kid if I wanted to, but it seemed gross when there were so many kids on free and reduced lunch.  Don't some of them deserve to be principal for a day, or go bowling with their teachers?[/quote]

Pro tip: this can be avoided by selling raffle tix for “Principal for
A Day.”[/quote]
