I have a question for you this week and figured you might also be interested in the results: Does your PTO or PTA or school organize community service efforts? Food drives, hat and mitten drives, holiday presents for the needy? That kind of stuff.

I'm always impressed by the creative efforts of schools and parent groups when it comes to serving others. Would you mind sharing a quick snippet of what you do on our message boards? I bet you can get some new ideas for your own group from this thread, too.

We hope to have some great new tools for you in 2010 on this front, and this early research will be a big help. Thanks in advance.
