[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]KLM parent here (ie. not Janney).  Obviously this is a #WTOP problem - but do find the 'moms' in charge very unwelcoming and it feels very high school (or sorority president-y) vibe.  I'd prefer just to give more to the school than go through this exercise in social status (which is what I will do).[/quote]

another KLM parent here. why don't you volunteer to organize the auction next year? I have never done it, I have just spent a few Saturdays setting it put (bringing in tables, setting up items and decorations, picking up trash from the floor, bringing in boxes of juices, wine, food and so on, but I have seen the people who take care of organizing the auction working hard since the beginning of the school year (and the last two presidents were both working full time). many more people take the unglamorous task of contacting last year donors, business that could possibly be interested in donating and so on (auction items don't have legs and don't show up by themselves the night of the auction). among them are parents of kids in my kids' classes who this year spent time at school during the day working with the kids to create an item that will be sold at the auction (no, in my case they are not bored SAHM, but a working father and a working mother). the vibe I see is very different that the one you describe (maybe we are not at the same school?).
