[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow - this would not be allowed in FCPS. What about the kids who can't afford that? Or do you not have poor kids in Bethesda?[/quote]

This is the richest  school in the area.  I'd hope the  PTA  helps with those who cannot afford it.[/quote]

A lot of families fall in between. If your family is living off of say $90k a year in Bethesda, you don’t qualify for anything but also have no spare money.[/quote]

Very few families making $90K or less except those in subsidized housing.  PTA should be purchasing it for those families.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? We make 80K a year and live in a small house we bought in Bethesda. There is absolutely no way the PTA, of which I am part of, is paying for my kids' dress clothes. I would not want them to. I *can* pay, but for my budget, all this outlay is a little unbalanced compared to my other expenses, and it's not sensitive of the choir teacher of a public school to do this to families. She should be aware that true middle class families like mine just want the most basic costume.

Except for an MCPU or family help or buying 20+ years ago there is no way you could have bought a house in Bethesda.[/quote]
