[quote=Anonymous]Latin's PTA raises a decent amount and, despite what some people think, it's not a school full of rich families. A good number of families do not qualify for FARM but they are working families with tight budgets. With that said, like at other schools, some families just don't believe donating to the PTA is a priority - the "I already pay taxes argument.". BTW, Latin does a direct ask for money. They do not do an auction. I will add that at our JKLM, it was mostly the families of younger grades that donate. Participation percentage dropped a lot by the time kids reach the 5th grade. Just like family donations either cease altogether or become quite low when students reach high school age. When we were at a JKLM, the suggested donation was set high to offset the fact the all families do not give - just like at every other school I would imagine.[/quote]
