[quote=Anonymous]DC is in 4th grade, and this is the first -and I sure hope the last! - time our school had the Boosterthon. The stated goal was to raise money 'for Chromebooks for kindergarten'. I don't know why kindergarteners need Chromebooks to begin with, my child sure didn't use it in K and did just fine, thank you very much, but the most annoying part of the event was my child coming home every day whining he wanted 'prizes' in return for 'pledges'. And I didn't even know the company keeps such a huge chunk of the proceedings! If our school does Boosterthon again next year, we're boycotting it. FWIW, I always buy books through Scholastic, go to book fairs and dinner fundraisers and write a yearly check to the PTA, but Boosterthon rubs me the wrong way, there's something unbelievably slimy about the whole thing.[/quote]
