[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm at a parochial school and we got a list of what we can bring to the Christmas party and it basically consists of gummy snacks, Capri Sun and chips, all individually packaged of course. Everything else is an allergen. [/quote]

Unpopular opinion: schools need to stop asking parents to bring food for the entire class.

We don't need to have a gazillion parties where kids are stuffing themselves with chips and gummy candies. It's doing more harm than good.

Everyone packs their own kid's food so each kid is safe.

A school Christmas party can literally just be everyone eats their own lunch while they watch a Christmas movie together. Not everything needs to involve shared food.[/quote]

I agree with this one. At our preschool, the list of banned foods for group events was so long that only the very, very worst crap was okay. But there were so many parties and events and birthdays (they loved a celebration), which was sweet, but the parties were then just the kids consuming pure, unadulterated junk, with no real food at all, all afternoon. However, there was only a peanut ban for individual lunches because there were no actual documented allergies. I am completely sympathetic to allergies and absolutely would never want to put even one kid in a bad position so think we shouldn't have done any group food thing at that age.
