Tuition was always hard for us. My husband is a teacher, and I was at home raising my children, and then got evening jobs when my husband was home with the kids, once they were a little older. It was never enough and we were on scholarship every year. BUT – I also volunteered a lot of my free time to the school,especially around the time of the annual dinner and when they held their annual bazaar. In fact, I volunteered the services of my husband and all the age appropriate children in our family, besides my own time. Ona weekly basis for many, many years, we also picked up the bread and cake left over by a local bakery, which was being donated to the Yeshivah for the bochurim’s breakfast. This was something they could not get many parents to commit to doing, because frankly, it was a pain in the neck to have that achrayus every Monday night, but we did it, because the school had been good to us.
