[quote=Anonymous]My two cents: I truly felt like an outsider mom at my kids JKLM the first year, and someone happened to ask me if I was planning to attend the auction. I was not planning on going, but wound up going. Turned out it was totally fun and as I started to get to know more parents, it made me really like the school and community. I had also perceived the involved parents as a "cool moms clique" but it turned out that they were open and friendly. It really isn't a MS or HS environment anymore -- and since you will probably be at that school for many years, and it makes sense to make an effort to get to know the other parents, and to support the school. If you really don't want to attend the auction, then you should absolutely make a generous donation. At our school, the funds raised go a very, very long way to make the school one of the more successful ones. [/quote]
