THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF HARD FEELINGS COMING FROM THE 5TH GRADE TOWARDS THE PTO. THEY HAVE AN ONGOING CANDLE FUNDRAISER FROM OCTOBER TO MARCH, RAFFLE TICKET SALE AND T-SHIRT SALE TO SPONSOR THEIR TRIP TO WASHINGTON DC. THEY HAVE ASK US NOT TO HAVE ANY FUNDRAISER DURING THESE MONTHS, SO WE DON'T TAKE ANY OF THEIR MONEY AWAY. THIS YEAR WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR USUAL FALL RAFFLE, AT THERE REQUEST. HOWEVER WE HAD ALREADY SCHEDULED A TWO WEEK CANDLE FUNDRAISER. THEY WERE MAD!!!!!!! WE DIDN'T ASK ANY 5TH GRADE STUDENT TO PARTICIPATE, BUT STILL THEY WERE NOT HAPPY. IT IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS GONE ON FROM MY UNDERSTANDING FOR YEAR. I HAD AN IDEAS, ASK OUR LOCAL MERCHANTS IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO SPONSOR A CHILD'S TRIP TO DC. I WOULD LIKE OPINIONS FROM ALL WHO WILL. PLUS IF ANYONE KNOWS A GOOD WAY TO WRITE A LETTER LIKE THIS OR A WEBSITE THAT MIGHT HELP, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE. I AM TRYING TO MEND FENCES. PROBABLY HOPELESS, BUT WORTH A SHOT
