[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They begged for $150 donation from parents. So, nothing else. [/quote]

$150 per parent? is this private school?[/quote]

NP but I doubt it. At our MCPS, they ask for $150/child. When we were in DCPS it was a lot higher (because PTAs there can pay for aides).[/quote]

Which MCPS school was this? Was this Bethesda or Potomac? $150 per child? That is just ridiculous.

Ours collected $20 per child for school parties and teachers appreciation. Even if $5 each went to the 2 school parties, there was $10 per child left over for a gift card, assuming all parents gave the money. Which would be atleast $200 in giftcards, so $100 for Christmas and $100 for Teacher's appreciation. My kids also gave their own gifts for Christmas and will be doing another gift for Teacher's appreciation.

Not going to name it, but it is not in Bethesda or Potomac. It has a very diverse student body, and I’m sure many of the parents  disregard the suggestion. But others with higher income give that amount or more.[/quote]

$150?!

Not sure why you don’t want to name it. It’s an anonymous forum.   I did not think MCPS ptas ever requested set dollar amounts.[/quote]

As you can see from others, there are schools across he county that so for this much (and I suspect more in the Bethesda area). And it is nothing compared with what our DCPS asked for.[/quote]
