[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best way to get rid of it is not contribute.  We normally contribute a large amount of money to school fund raisers  but will be giving the minimum and directly to the school for this.  [/quote]

Yes! Don't give any money during Boosterthon. Instead I asked my child's teacher what she needed and I would buy it for her instead of sending in 150 dollars. She really wanted a laser printer/copier so she could make a single copy instead of having to go to the workroom, so I bought that and contributed nothing to Boosterthon. [/quote]

Of course, but the kids are participating by default even if they don't contribute money because the Boosterthon people are holding pep rallies and disrupting instructional time for 9 straight days. It is not just contributing money that many of us have a problem with, it is the entire program. [/quote]

When our school did it last fall, parents could opt their child out of the daily (!) sessions with the Boosterthon staff. These sessions happened during their already limited recess, so I was definitely on board with opting out. I wanted my child to play outside, not listen to a sales pitch.[/quote]
