I find it overwhelming as well - particularly since Iz started kinder. In term 1 and 2 we had something like 13 different fundraisers going on at kinder and on a side note, they have already rasied $7500...:O We have charities that we support and I have decided we will support one thing per term at kinder and that is it. I hate how they gave us the option to opt out but i we didn't then the chocolate box was automatically sent home - ok my fault for not opting out but come on!! Can you tell that I have a few issues with kinder right now. There are loads hun and we try to sell them ourselves but end up buying them ourselves most of the time.

I think all you can do is decide what and how much you will support various charities and kinder/school etc and then stick to it.
