[quote=Anonymous]We had boosterthon a few years but no longer do. We raised a decent amount of money with it, too. I wasn't a fan of the assemblies and the stuff they brought home for getting pledges. But honestly, I think some of you parents are finding more of a moral failing in it than the kids took away from it. The kids I know saw that they were raising money to help their school and they got to run around with their friends for an afternoon. As for the "stuff", we just had a discussion with DC and said we were giving X, grandparents were giving X, and we weren't asking anyone else. That raised an amount we were comfortable with. In other words, it was not a big deal. I can't imaging going in every day to remove my child from a 30 minute assembly for two weeks - besides being silly, not everyone has that time. I know it's harder to have conversations with your children about these matters but try it. It does work.[/quote]
