Yes, very much so.  Middle school kids are sometimes very conscious of their appearance, especially if they know their life situation is not good.  If you have a Costco card, you can offer to make a run for the social worker and pick up a lot of stuff at once.  This stocks them up for the year with a minimal investment of the social worker's time.  Another thing they really appreciate is a CVS gift card.

In everything you do for the PTO, literally every single thing, think how it impacts the lowest-income students and how to better serve them.  For example, I was in charge of the school t-shirt order and pricing.  I opted to charge everyone an extra 25 cents, to make the numbers work out so that the social worker could have some shirts to distribute.  And I made sure to get some sizes for the kids who are overweight or really tall.  [/quote]
