Day 349: $5 to needy family

We had yet another "jeans day" at school today. I absolutely do not mind donating to this needy family that has apparently had tragedy heaped upon them in the form of disease and financial devastation; however, I would really appreciate it if Milford High School could come up with something less banal than jeans day.  My God, I'll wear jeans any day that I want to. (Some teachers wear jeans every single day.) These are the same people who, I'm quite sure, didn't bother to donate anything today. Am I sounding cynical? So be it. At least I was forwarded a funny video about AYP and jeans day today, so that fit with the theme of the day.
