[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boosterthon is a big scam. Our ES is hosting it again this year [W pyramid] and I hate it. Many parents complained about it last year, but they are still hosting it. I guess we will have to scream and complain louder this year. [/quote]

Get on the PTA board at your school. That is how you stop it.[/quote]

Surely the board, on its own, can comply with National PTA?  [url=http://www.ptakit.org/UploadedDocuments/2015BTSWebsite/Fundraising/2015%20FUNDRAISING%20GUIDE_INTERACTIVE.pdf] "Children should not be the primary means of soliciting within fundraising activities." [/url]  If the board doesn't care what NPTA says, then why are we paying PTA dues?   :?: [/quote]

Local PTAs are supposed to comply with National PTA standards. It is in ALL Maryland PTA bylaws that local chapters have to follow national and state policies.

It alao goes against the MDPTA fubdraising standards.  If your school's PTA is still allowing Boosterthon, you should show up at the next PTA meeting and ask the Board members and principal why (and then volunteer to run a more ethical fundraiser).[/quote]
