[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PA is trying to coordinate fundraising by the parents so that parents aren't stepping all over each other, but I know they are NOT leading any of it. From what I do know, the board agreed to get involved but was very reluctant for obvious reasons. To me it seems like some parents are opposed and others are taking this on in an almost competitive, way. It is ridiculous, but the PRE-K parents are already starting to fundraise. The survey last week asked if parents support the PA using some of the Gala proceeds to go to the China trip. I have heard from a trusty source that something like a third of the parents voted against funding the trip. That combined with the hyper-competitive fund raising that is flooding my inbox shows how polarized people are about this trip.[/quote]

This reads as editorializing to me.  You've got an agenda to push, and can't wait to spin any given factoid towards that point of view.

I've received messages about fundraising, and my take on it was very much about ambitious enthusiasm.

Could it be that "hyper-competition" is in the eye of the beholder?
