[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a fundraiser for our PTA at our up & coming Elementary DCPS (we raised about $20k last year through an auction, memberships, tshirt sales, soliciting local businesses, etc.), we go out of our way to make all our event inclusive. No entry fees, free food at events (or $1-2 "donation" for pizza), scholarship tshirts to those in needs, etc. Charging $60 at the door, like CMI is doing for its gala, is a great way to exclude lower income families. [b] Is this typical for HRCS[/b]?[/quote] No, it's not. The best HRCS donate north of $1,000 to your kid's 529 plans so that parents actually show up. That gets people attention, and clearly help motivate the kids. A win/ win! Sounds to me you are in the wrong school, sorry. [/quote]
