[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]Our parties are at the end of the day and we have an early lunch so most of the kids are starving. [/b] 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]

So what are they doing all the other days that you're not buying them pizza?

Whenever my kid has had an early or late lunch, you send a snack in with them for the morning or the afternoon.
