[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these people new to the school?

They should have the event be free to attend and then make money by selling pizza, snacks, raffle tickets, etc.[/quote]

At our school (I am a teacher and a parent), the tickets are to be paid but yes, they can reach out to counselor for those that are free or reduced or need help to pay. The pta are notified of the amount of tickets that are needed from the counselor. The families privacy is protected. The food is free. Everyone who enters gets a ticket. That ticket allows for a free grab and go snack or meal. It singles no one out in the moment if they have a financial need. Not saying this is the only right way but I do believe it works. The money goes to the pta but it’s for the school. Goes back to the teachers or students one way or the other. [/quote]

OP here- no meal, no snack is included with this ticket . Your school sounds a little more reasonable in the approach especially since no parent is involved in gathering information of other parents who cannot pay [/quote]
