Because the patriotic American solution to severe budget problems is to piss all over our future (out of fear of hurting the luxury yacht industry), public schools (like my daughter’s) are forced to get creative about their fund raising.

Side note, best bumper sticker I’ve ever seen: “I dream of a day when our schools will get all the money they need and the air force will have to hold a bake sale to fund its next bomber.”

Our school’s big event was last night, a big live and silent auction for grown-ups only.
The strategy, as I imagine is the case in most of these events, is to get us parents as good and loaded as possible, so as to make us loose with our wallets. Raise your ($10) glass, and it will be filled!
And it works, as I am fairly sure I spent a lot of money, but I can’t quite remember on what.
Fortunately I had a good Lucky Chances session on Friday to cover.
