[quote=Anonymous]No, the purpose is not to "play pranks".  It's team building and time to spend with their friends.  The administrators do not like it, because the kids take a whole Friday off of school and that means lost Federal funds for the school.  I think next year's organizers are trying to do it on a teacher workday weekend so there will not be any missed days from school.  Additionally, there was a project worked on by each of the grade level boys and girls suggested by the Principal and turned into her as well.

As to students being left out; there is no way to distribute information other  than by word of mouth and the few emails that are handy.  There was numerous emails sent and each of them asked to spread the word and there were at least 4 meetings at the school so if someone got left out, the parents dropped the ball.  he AAP parents are well connected to eachother and the kids talk abut it so there was plenty of opportunity to learn more.  The school does not allow any advertising through KIT or the PTA or posters or signage so that doesn't leave many ways to get the info out.

I'm going to try to get a 6th grade event started at my non AAP son's school similar to Louis Archer.  For those parents upset about Al Fresco being exclusionary can do the same.[/quote]
