Baseball practice coached by parents, volleyball in the school gym, coached by parents, gymnastics in the College gym, paid trainer, volunteer parents...
Yeah, not here either... At least not with teachers volunteering.
None of the activities at our local school run past 4-4:30. Our most recent event, track and field, happened during school hours.
Our largest fundraiser of the year, the one that drives 75% of extra funds in the school was run by 24 parents and 2 teachers.
Same here.
The only reason why volleyball is in the school gym, is because there is no other facility in town.
The fundraiser to get the grade 8 kids to camp is done by the kids during the year. 2 teacher and 6 parents join for the 3 day trip. Everyone else pays if the fundraiser didn't get enough cash.
The high school honour roll trip (that got cancelled) is paid for by parents. Kids work their asses off for it, and parents still have to pay $110. The 2 teachers who come with volunteer (like that is a punishment).
It is a 2-day trip during school hours, so they still get paid, just not for the 'after school' time they spend in Kelowna, swimming and going out to dinner with them.
