[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is your PTA doing this? At a small private school ours brings gifts to teachers on their birthdays, throws parties for parents at people's homes or restaurants--sometimes with kids, and, just today, hosted a holiday luncheon for staff and faculty. Why are they involved in kids' stuff? Is this like a public school thing?[/quote] At our public school, the PTA funds science equipment and arts assemblies, sponsors a back to school picnic and sometimes another social gathering, provides a meal to teachers, organizes the booksale and maybe helps organize parent volunteers for things like field day (can’t remember now if they do this). As others have noted, spirit days are an SGA creation—so generally created by 10 year olds. [/quote]
