Thank you for this powerful, important piece! As an avid reader of Frog Trouble Times, I can think of no greater honor than to be called a Frog Troubler! Thank you for the shout out and thank you for your vigilant reporting and action in the community. ( and the thought of anyone turning into a hot-dog is pretty scary!!)
So how much does the Boosterthon organization make, and wouldn’t that money be better spent towards creating a salaried project management admin position that focus solely on fundraising, grant-writing, and organizing volunteer opportunities? It’s crazy how much we rely on the unpaid labor of mostly women (PTA) to fund public education.
Thank you! And that is exactly right about the PTA... I completely agree about a salaried admin position, ideally shared between schools. Julie Ricker has suggested we do a post about the PTA Thrift Store, which raises lots of money (through reuse!) that is shared equally between the schools.

Thank you, Jill! You, Mamie, and Richard are the original Frog Troublers!

Thank you for saying this! I couldn’t agree more.

more terrible news on plastic
coke has a plant in Henrico Co that is bragging about producing plastic bottles faster and cheaper!!!
when Sky started kindergarten and came home with the fundraiser kit
( a zillion years ago!) a free range kid he went out on his own and came home with an envelope full of money!
we were not living on the farm at the time but we were not exactly living in a neighborhood either!
at least he…. lived to tell the tale
I sort of remember that. I wonder where he went? Also, perfect story for tomorrow's post. xo
