Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
Anytime anyone on here says Boosterthon is bad, people stand up and defend it. Well, I say let's put Boosterthon to the test and see how much it can do to make up the FCPS budget shortfall.
FCPS has contracted with Boosterthon before, they can do it again, the same applies to PTAs/PTOs.
Time for you Booster boosters to put your money where your mouth is.
If you dislike them so much you go volunteer to be PTA president at your kid's school next year and you find a fundraising opportunity that brings in more cash.
I'm neither supporting not criticizing Boosterthon. I've had no experience with them. But all we see is pussy ass parents hiding behind anonymous screen names to denigrate Boosterthon while offering no legitimate and comparable alternative.
I did not see the OP as denigrating Boosterthon. It seems to me Boosterthon is being asked to step up to a challenge. It seems unlikely that the BoS will give Garza and the SB the money they want.
Boosterthon has been extolled, and holds itself out as a paragon of leadership and fundraising. I think the OP is on a quest for truth. As leaders, Boosterthon should help FCPS in its hour of need. As fundraisers, if Boosterthon is so good at it, then, the raised funds might just help fill the gap Garza spends so much time and effort with.
