[quote=Anonymous]Our PTO does a ton of valuable stuff and I really appreciate them.

But I also dislike the spirit days, especially with really young kids because it's hard enough getting them out the door and having to remember and plan for something like wearing orange (when your kid doesn't have any orange clothes) or yeah, matching a friend at school (so awful when a kid doesn't have a friend to match with), etc. But in my experience that's less driven by the PTO than by the school itself. At least in our case. Our school has traditions and they do them and some of the administrators and teachers are really invested in it, but the PTO just helps raise money if necessary and then will boost it on the website and social media. I don't get the sense that the PTO officers are heavily invested in making the kids dress a certain way on certain days -- they don't really seem to care either way and I've had some of them tell me explicitly that their kid doesn't even participate if it's too much of a hassle.[/quote]
