[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never would have thought I'd be active in the PTA but our school is Title I and it NEEDS the additional funds and materials they get from our fundraising and events. We try to be as welcoming and open as possible, very clear about where the money goes (and most of it goes to things the Principal has requested funds for ) and we try to create community events with free-components (like a free movie) so all can feel included and have fun. Please do not paint all PTAs with the same brush. I think many of you are actually the ones being snobby by writing off all PTA stuff as being beneath you. [/quote] It's not beneath me. It is cliquish. And this year, every PTA sponsored family fun night has been on a weeknight. Most of the parents WORK and therefore cannot go. I'm sure there are some PTAs that aren't like that. But the one at my school is. [/quote]
