It's funny, with all the schools we've been in, except for one, the PTA prez was always a "I am the QUEEN of this school" type. <BR/><BR/>I'd mentioned Market Days to you before. The fundraiser we had in December? It raised $112 over five days. That's it. Meanwhile, Market Days is one day a month and probably could triple that, especially in areas where both parents work.<BR/><BR/>The sad thing is the lack of the cultural for the kids. I'll bet you ask any adult and they can tell you about at least one assembly that they attended in Elementary school. It's sad that the kids in their school won't have that.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718001074320164888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579138843307757058.post-76454016973929878642009-01-07T20:59:00.000-05:002009-01-07T20:59:00.000-05:00I think adult cliques are worse.

I also wonder where the money goes - and I was a teacher.Anglophile Football Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06802113205530180641noreply@blogger.com
