How do you cope with additional school costs?

The end of the school year can be tough for our children. We simply cannot afford to participate in any extra activities. This week there is a summer fair held at the school. We will not be able to attend or donate even. Our children are left out. Previously I have coped by being honest about circumstances. The children are very much aware of our situation, they understand. At times I have felt bad for the things they will have missed out on. As children, these are important, they are missing out on life experiences.
