This is not an improvement
My son brought home a note from school yesterday.
Dear parent or guardian,
We will be studying Valentines' Day Celebrations from around the world.......Our class will end this unit of study with a Valentine's Celebration on Friday February 16th. If you would like to donate store bought, sugar-free food or drinks for the celebration, please sign up on the sheet outside the classroom door.
The students are welcome to exchange Valentine's Day Cards with their friends. However, due to privacy policies, I will be unable to include a class list. Therefore, just have your child sign their name and leave the rest blank.
If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me....Thank you.
WHAT?!?!?!! I think that this is ridiculous. I have looked forward to being the "class mom" for years. I planned on bringing homemade cupcakes for birthdays and helping out at class parties. Now there are no parties (notice the conspicuous absence of the word?Christmas was the same way, but I figured it was cause they were avoiding the "C" word) and we have to bring STORE BOUGHT, not homemade items.....and they prefer to have sugar free.
WHERE IS THE FUN IN THAT?!?! I can' t possibly imagine that throughout the 50's the kids were so horribly hyped up on sugar that the teachers couldn't control the class for a 30 minute party. The schools policy on bake sales at the high school level also dictate only store bought items......The next 12 years are going to really suck.
