Reply #11: We have to haul so many supplies to school

[Ilsa]

that the schools invite us to come a few days early to unload all the stuff. I wish they'd buy it in bulk and bill us for it; they'd get a better deal on most of it.

Our PTA finally got enough money together to get our playground in compliance with ADA and IDEA so the handicapped kids could have the same recess as others. Yep, had to be from raising money from volunteer projects.

We try to buy our kids' teachers gift cards for CHristmas and end of school year. They can use them on themselves or for supply money.
