[quote=Anonymous][quote]Sorry but you sound a little like a PITA which is why you haven't "been selected" to volunteer for the parties, at our school they practically beg for volunteers, room parents, book sale volunteers, etc. you can volunteer to help in the cafeteria or at recess too. 
I have been a room parent 3 times so far and I always send out an email asking parents to help for the parties[/quote]

I was selected but other parents were not. It didn't seem fair and for a Halloween party with K kids it would not have been a problem to have 10 parents helping instead of 4. I volunteer for a lot things in the PTA because the events are fun for the kids. Bingo Night, Talent Show, picnic etc all build community and my kids love having an evening to run around with a group of friends.

However, many parents do not volunteer because the only options are social stuff, xeroxing in the office, or library duty. The closest you can get to the classroom is offering to provide reading or math assistance but you are sitting in the hall working with 1-2 kids not in the classroom. You also need to be able to provide 3 30 minute times slots between 9:30 am-11am and 2-3 pm a week so it doesn't work for working moms. [/quote]
