A WORD ABOUT FUNDRAISING:

National PTA policy states that "children should never be exploited or used as fundraisers."

Children should focus on learning and building social skills while they are in school and should not be expected to shoulder the financial burden for what is supposed to be a free, quality public education.

Increasingly, parents are being asked to take on that task. We urge parents to take advantage of PTA advocacy and leadership training workshops so that they can participate in the decision-making about how schools are funded.

We recognize that some fundraising efforts may always be necessary, but it should not be a parent's primary way of being involved with the school.
