| Ours does not and it really annoys me. No classroom parties. No snacks or candy allowed. Just a card exchange and some will still decorate boxes or bags for cards collection. Kind of a bummer. Are we the only one? |

| So they do allow card exchanges? What are you complaining about? Do you not have other social circles to celebrate in if you want? |

| Each grade has a celebration at our school- Viers Mill. Kids can bring in cards, but they don’t have to. Two kids- and different celebration times for each. 5th grade is in the morning and 3rd in the afternoon. |

| Sounds like your kid’s school does celebrate. Aren’t card exchanges the main part of classroom Valentine celebrations? |

| Oakland Terrace does them. Parents donate snacks, treats, decorations, and activities with a few volunteers doing set up / break down. |

That sounds like a celebration. |

| Ours does, opens up the school for parents to come at their grades assigned times (an hour long slot). Kids bring cards for the exchange and parents donate treats/snacks. The teacher usually plans some activities as the school does not do room leaders. |

+ 1. Minus the junk food. It is a win/win. |

| Ours is a neutered version with no decorations or food. Only card exchange. I’m not sure if people are allowed to laugh or talk during this “party.” |
