"Friendraiser"= Neat Community-Building Idea
Lots of articles out there about the economy putting the squeeze on schools, and how parent groups are being asked to pick up the slack. I just came across this article about a parent group that decided that they were not going let their PTA and school community feel like victims of the economy.
Instead, this creative bunch put together a free all-night, camp out event for their K through 5 families and called it a "friendraiser." Love it. Instead of only focusing on fundraising, this group showed that family nights are the perfect way to build community at any school.
