My children's school had their last fundraiser of the year. I usually buy something that I don't need just so my kids participate. It was just too much this year for me. I didn't buy one item. Why do they have a fundraiser right after the deadline to pay property and income taxes? I also had to prepay their summer daycare. I feel a little bad.
Maybe they were thinking that when people receive their tax refunds, they might feel rich. I don't know, but it is still ridiculous!
Another Fundraiser at the School?

I despise school fundraisers. It always comes down to spending money for something you don't really need/want. And the school usually gets a very small percentage. Frequently, I just send a check for $5-10 with a note that says I don't like to participate.
I know that many of our schools need money. I'd like to see it raised through grant-writing or fundraising beyond the parents and extended families of the children.
