[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents can't always go, Often no parent can go. This proliferation of weekday school events (I don't mean field trips), is ridiculous when it comes with the expectation that parents will be there. Makes me even more mad when it's something promoted, invented by the parents - who can always go - SAH parents.[/quote]

Bring it up to your school then because I can assure you that, at least in my kids elementary, it is the school and teachers asking for all of these events. I am advocating for less in the PTA. There is no reason to have a school-wide festival for fall and fall classroom parties. Especially when all of these events are parent donations, parent run, etc. Dont get my started on the monthly teachers lounge stock-a-thon.

Im one of 3 room parents for my kids K class and we have already done:
- a fall party
-pre thanksgiving party
-main teacher and assistant teacher birthday party
-winter party before holiday

school events
-parade
-fall festival
-winter festival
-grandparents day
-parents day
-12 days of winter
- canned food drive
- spirit week
