Across the valley, foundations are popping up to help take the weight off the PTA while putting money in the pockets for those extras. Boards of directors are established, which reaches out into a new pocket of the school population. Our businesses are being inundated by requests for services or items.
Word is that our businesses are a giving group, but even they have their limits.
We expect a lot. We need to think outside of the box. That is why I am so impressed with a foundation in Castaic. These three schools are extremely overcrowded. A year-round calendar of activities raises funds for the foundation.
