[quote=Anonymous]I agree with a lot of what the PPs are saying. The school community feeling dissolved completely this year. I've been there since day one and this new load of parents being so large and concetrated in the lower grade has made it really tough to bring into the community. We've had no space to have any events until very recently, and now the space isn't even big enough to host the whole school at one time. 
The PA is one hell of a hard working group of parents, some of whom are completely burnt out trying to be go-betweens with what the parent needs are and what the school needs are, all while making a new organization, fundraising, planning events, etc. I'm sure from the outside it seems like they aren't spending enough time "creating bonding opportunities", but all of the events and activities are created and run by parents just like you, and are therefore everyone's responsibility. I'm not sure when people started to become entitled to a perfect experience without contributing. Like anything in politics: if you don't like it try running for office. It will give insight into what actually goes on. I'm sure your efforts will be greatly appreciated.[/quote]
