Day 235: $5 to PTSA

This is a donation that I make yearly, and of course it supports me as well as my fellow teachers and our students. Giving $5 to become a member of the PTSA at my school is something I have done every year since I started teaching. Only this year, have I wondered how many teachers join and how many teachers just ignore that piece of paper in their mailbox at the beginning of the year. We are, after all, so incredibly busy at the start of the school year. Other teachers--more frugal than I--might see giving $5 to PTSA as a waster of money. I think the organization is helpful and I am happy to support it again this year.
