[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because my kids have food allergies and can't eat the party food.

Because I generally think class parties are completely useless and a waste of time.

I don't recall having class parties as a kid (other than Valentine's boxes) and have no idea why every tiny thing has to be celebrated with a party and food.[/quote]

Please do let the room parents know.  I plan for nut allergies when I can (except when I'm paying 60-100% of the cost as it really adds up to do it nut free but I always make sure to have nut-free and other food preferences if I know.  Our teachers refuse to tell us which is very frustrating.  I know some of the allergies if I know the kids or mine tell me.  No reason why your child shouldn't eat or you can always send stuff if it is safer)

And, you can contribute to a craft or game.  Our parties are at the end of the day and we have an early lunch so most of the kids are starving.  Most of the parents appreciate pizza from my experience as a lot of the kids are going to activities after school or after care and eat then, so it saves us from a meal in-between.  I do it for my kid as I have to stay late to clean up (funny none of the parents ever help) and then run to an activity.  Food is not a huge expense if you do it right/plan.  Activities and games are far more costly as many teachers insist on multiple centers vs. one big activity.[/quote]
