[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours does not and it really annoys me. No classroom parties. No snacks or candy allowed. [b]Just a card exchange and some will still decorate boxes or bags for cards collection.[/b] Kind of a bummer. Are we the only one? [/quote]

That sounds like a celebration.[/quote]

+ 1. Minus the junk food. It is a win/win. [/quote]

Not a win/win if you are the kid.

Our school has a party, different times for the grades and parents are allowed to come during that time. Parents donate the snacks, juice, decorations. Teachers have the kids decorate their bags and kids go around handing over the cards and candy. The exchange is not a must but they send out a list of all the kids in class. Some kids do the exchange and some don't. We just send in the Valentine's card with an eraser or pencil or stickers. Ours is farms 35 percent.

The kids enjoy the party and look forward to it since there are 4 or 5 activities/games followed by the food.

We used to have a Halloween party, parade, but that got [b]cut by the county[/b]. I'm glad this is still there for the kids.

No your principal caved in to the loud parents' push to eliminate party and parade. When there were class parties, in some schools up to hundreds of students would opt out from the celebrations (for religious and other reasons). Instead these students would stay in the gym or different area of the school while their peers partied.[/quote]
