[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Feeding hungry children is NOT the mission of the PTA. [/b]If there are starving children, then it should be both their parents' responsibility. If they can't do it, then it should be the government's or a humanitarian organization's responsibility. The PTA is supposed to fund programs that enrich the education of ALL children. The teacher appreciation luncheons are only a small portion of the PTA's budget since most of a PTA's budget should go to support all children. Feeding hungry kids, while of course noble, is cherry picking, which the PTA frowns upon.[/quote] Oh, I don't know. [b]"The overall purpose of PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children."[/b] http://www.pta.org/about/content.cfm?ItemNumber=944&navItemNumber=552[/quote]
