[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, can we keep on topic?  This is a Janney thread.  [/quote]

To me it seemed the thread was about the merits or not of school auctions. So many complexities in regards to who can afford to attend, who chooses, what programs and items for sale etc.

This might be anethema to the previous poster but I do appreciate factual clarifications. There have been several, from posting correct current pricing to rectifying slander of another school.

As the earlier parent from Murch attested, multiple school audiences are present in this particular dialogue. As one persons subjective viewpoint, I can attest that as a single parent I’ve attended some years, in others elected not to. (Yes, primarily bc the cost of a sitter + tickets + purchasing anything is too much.) But I have benefited by purchasing summer camps for my DC at 50% off for Sidwell/Calleva/others. Also Disney tickets.  I figure the school is benefiting- and I am as well bc it is money I would have to spend regardless.

All schools should provide tickets to teachers, to families that need, free of charge. As a single parent I scrimp to live where we do for DC to reap the benefits of our school environment. But not everyone needs to be privy to how frugal I am by necessity.
