[quote=Anonymous]I did not have the bandwidth to be involved in the PTA and did not want to deal with red tape, admin, etc… I wanted to focus my time and energy in the classroom. So I was always a room parent who lead the group of room parents for that grade. I was good at rallying our families to volunteer for field trips, raising money in the classroom for classroom supplies or anything the teachers/grade needed such as supplies for specific projects. They also wanted snack donations for classroom events, etc…. We also always organized grade wide teacher appreciation with gifts and gift cards. I felt it was a much better way to help the teachers and bigger impact on at least the kids in our grades. School wise, I would volunteer at all school events and we always donated money to the school campaign drive. So if you are not interested in being a part of the PTA, there are other ways to be involved in the school and classroom. [/quote]
