[quote=Anonymous]Our ES is a Title 1 with around 90% FARMS kids and they do tons of stuff like this. Tho I will say that teachers and staff generally really emphasize that it’s optional and that no one gets excluded or criticized for not participating. It’s billed as a way to build school spirit. About half of the kids participate in these days but it doesn’t break down along class lines. While I don’t necessarily know who the FARMS kids are, I do know with confidence many of the kids who are not FARMS (because I’ve met their parents and know their employers/professions) and done participate and done don’t. I personally agree with OP because there is already so much to think about and I do really hate trying to track down a special colored shirt or accessory on short notice. We don’t always do it, but if my kid seems enthusiastic about it I generally come up with something. And it is just one more thing on a long list.[/quote]
