Fun(draisers) times!
My four-year-old son earlier this week brought home his school’s first fundraiser (sort of): a Scholastic Book Club flyer.
While it provided a great opportunity to buy inexpensive books without leaving my house, I also felt somewhat guilty.
I assumed there will be other club flyers this year, so I only bought three books. I also assumed his mother would buy books.
However, would I be a bad parent if I didn’t buy at least one item from my son’s school fundraisers, including $1 books from the Scholastic Book Club? I’m a newbie at the whole public school thing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Write comments below to share with others, too.
Thanks!

He’ll most likely get a book club order every month. I told my daughter we can order every other month. I pick a book (age appropriate) and she picks one. I always buy at least something from her other fundraisers, too, but I don’t think it’s all that necessary. Her teachers keep a “wish list” of items they could use in the classroom and I try to contribute that way.
