Shouldn't you be planning within the money you have?[/quote]

I find it cheaper to do pizza and a few other things then tons of random snacks.  Kids will almost always eat the pizza (in less a food allergy).  I do it as a way to cut down my costs.[/quote]

It isn't working.

You need to plan with the money you have, not ask for more.  You don't need "tons of random snacks" either.

Sounds to me like you don't budget very well.[/quote]

How is pizza ever going to be cheaper than asking people to bring in cheese sticks and fruit OR pretzels and fruit?  It's not.[/quote]

You can’t have those snack items for kids in 5th-6th grade. Some of these kids are adult sized. [b]You need some kind of a meal. [/b][/quote]

No you don't.[/quote]

You do for our fifth grade class. The 2 parties this year - at the teacher’s request - are during lunchtime. She asked that the party include lunch. So we have to have a meal. [/quote]

Of course it makes sense as a replacement for lunch but that’s not what anyone here is saying.[/quote]

Even then, you should either push back on the lunch timing or tell the teacher you don't have $ to provide lunch, but you can provide a dessert to go with their regular lunch.[/quote]

That’s insane. Twice a whole year it is reasonable for kids to have a group lunch of pizza during a class party. Pushback?  Wth[/quote]

If there is no money, there is no money, unless you think the pizza fairy is going to deliver the pizza for free.  This whole thread started when op complained other parents weren't contributing enough to the party the teacher wanted/suggested.  If the parents fund it (either collectively or the room parents sucking kt up), then great.  If not, then even two times a year is more than can be done for that class.[/quote]
