[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school has been doing the same thing for as long as I remember. No objections, the community supports it, and the presents go to a local charity which in turn identifies needy students. What is the big deal?[/quote] This. I don't really have skin in the game since we're not in MCPS, but our schools have done toy drives, Adopt-a-child, etc. The world needs MORE charitable acts, not less. PP's do have a point though, that there should be oversight. Hopefully there is an organization overseeing this so that it can be assured that the gifts are going to the right place.[/quote] The school's counselors do this. They are the only ones in the school (besides principal) who the families in need are. The PTA can help facilitate the action "spread the word" to get families to help. But the wrapped gifts go to the counselor and she is very good about getting them to the families without anyone in the school knowing. [/quote]
