I love getting Aubrey off the bus! I stand in the drive way and wave to him as the bus pulls up. He jumps outta his seat and grabs his Spiderman back pack from the bus driver--Ms.Penny-- and comes barreling down the steps. I always ask the same questions "How was school" and "Got anything in your bag?". Well he's a smart kid and has started just telling me if there are papers in his bag. Yesterday was no different. I was in the drive way waving like an idiot and ---you get the picture. Aubrey gives me a hug and says "Mommy I got you something". I was like WOW maybe he made me a picture or colored something or...Uh-O! he got in trouble in school. We say goodbye to Ms.Penny and head up the driveway. Much to my surprise there is a packet of papers stapled together with two free tickets to the circus. Very interesting....As I get to reading the packet the first page explains that the CES PTO is selling embroidered fleece jackets $26 a jacket add $3 if you want to add ur name, NEXT, page two explains that the CES PTO is selling embroidered windbrakers for $22 a jacket. Ok, I get it the PTO needs money. The third page yet again the PTO is selling stuff this time its newly designed spirit shirts. Fourth page, they're selling embroidered lunchboxes and beenie caps. FIFTH page they're selling embroidered polo shirts. That DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!! they killed no telling how many trees to try and sell me overpriced crapp!!!
As if that wasn't bad enough they send home a packet of papers today selling cookie dough, pretzels and cinnamon rolls. So I call the grandparents AGAIN! they're going to start ignoring my calls cuz I've called 2 days in a row to inform them of fund raisers.
My mom had a funny out look though after I invited her over and told her to bring her check book she simply stated "Don't they realize the economy in is a slump?". Don't get me wrong I will support the school but Aubrey is in Special Ed.!!! He's not even in kindergarten and we've done 2 fundraisers already!!!!
It drives me crazy that this is suppose to be public school and free cuz we pay taxes and they're always hitting the parents up for money!!!!!

I agree that the kids do WAY too many fundraisers!!! The ladies I work with are always complaining about that as well, and have gotten to the point to where they just try and shell out a few dollars for the fundraiser instead of hitting everyone else up. It's just gotten to a point that it's ridiculous!
