[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as soon as I hear that the school is taking donations for the Annual Fund, I whip out my check book (well, I do it online these days). If you donate early you don't get a phone call. We also get substantial financial aid so our donation is small, but as several PPs have pointed out, the school is looking for participation. [/quote] Same here. I write the check, a regrettably small one, the very first day that the annual fund is promoted. I would never want to get a call from my child's classmates' much wealthier parents![/quote] I agree too and you don't have to call them back. Find the way to donate online or go into the office and submit a check in a sealed envelope. They are looking for the percentage and not the $$ amount. Your name will come off the call list. That said, we too are on a good amount of FA and I have taught my middle schooler to save some of her own money (babysitting, birthday etc..) and make a contribution as well. Give back the the school that is giving you a great education. And like you already are - volunteer and get involved. It is not always the "money" moms that help. Lots of average moms are there too and want to get involved. Good Luck! [/quote]
