| You really ought to bring this up in your PTA executive board meeting. Seems to me the money would be better spent on something for the needy kids in your own school. However, it is usually frowned upon for PTA to do something that benefits only a select few and not the whole student body. Are the food pantry donations for city wide use or your school only? The only time that I've been involved in PTA fundraisers for one person is when the school principal was undergoing chemo for breast cancer. We held dime drops and used the money for prepared food when the principal's family came for a weekend visit. PTA was completely upfront about what the money was used for so no one could come back later and complain.
Really, bring this up in an executive board meeting because there might be others that agree with you. This should be a matter that is voted on by the whole board, not decided upon by a select few. |
