[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay/have paid full freight for 4 kids and give generous donations both to the annual fund and the designated financial aid fund. The auction makes me cringe. It's not sour grapes, but the live auction seems to me an ostentatious display of wealth that undermines the school's fundamental values. If you want to support financial aid, you can write a check specifically for that purpose. If you want to have fun and meet other parents, volunteer, go to a game or school play, or host a potluck. And, for the record, all of our kids have or will play varsity sports, and, no, they don't need that fancy athletic center. [/quote] Thank you ... this is exactly how I feel and behave. [/quote]
