[quote=Anonymous]I was in your shoes 10 years ago. A few things - really try and put yourself in the shoes of others. For some families PTO is not something they are familiar with as it was not a part of their culture / life experience. Have very clear fundraising goals - purpose. Let those who may not be able to contribute financially feel included. International night was a big hit and families contributed home made food that was incredible. Translate! Lead all family communications in Spanish if that is a primary language. English language speakers will know to jump down to the bottom of an email. Small things are really powerful. End of year picnic (sell chips, beverages as a mini fundraiser) When thinking about event planning - ask where do families live? Are they going to come back to the school in the evening? How will they get here? [/quote]
