[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here -- just to clear up some things, this is not a PTA-sponsored activity. It is being headed by the Somerset Foundation which is independent of the PTA. They have lots of great programs, including raising money for other Montgomery County schools in need. I see nothing wrong with the parents of the community wanting to improve the conditions of a field that has had a lot of problems. 
There is no health risk of the proposed artificial turf. The cancer-causing tire-containing astroturf that some posters mentioned is well known and is not part of the plan. [/quote]

Somerset ES even has a Foundation. (As well as all those butlers.)[/quote]

Most of the wealthy schools do..they are more flexible than a PTA in terms of fundraising but are not so different.[/quote]

had no clue - http://www.somerset-foundation.org/

So this is how the other half lives . . .

love the equity[/quote]

They appear to be helping schools in need too

Which is more than I can say for other areas which barely pool their money for them selves. Show me a silver spring or Takmoa park neighborhood buying stuff for that school even though it is in their front and back yards. The people bitching don't get what it means to be poorer than other people. What next should your house be as nice and well located as somerset?  You got discounts for where you live because it isn't as nice, there is no free lunch in life. There are no little secert areas that are as nice or nicer than ABC but cost 1/2 as much.[/quote]
