[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me so happy that my kids attend normal, sane schools with no room parents.  People just donate the requested items for parties and give the gifts that work for them.  Keeping track of who did or didn't contribute would never fly, since half of the kids are FARMS.  You rich McLean people are cracking me up.  You all seem so high maintenance.[/quote]

It doesn't have to be crazy with room parents or low FARMS schools.  Our Bethesda school has room parents, but they made one fairly modest request at the beginning of the year and made it clear it was voluntary.  The couple of parties have been very low key - juice, mini muffins, oranges, and some simple crafts.  People did their own things for gifts.[/quote]

This must be for lower elementary. A 6th grader and a mini muffin?[/quote]

No, this isn't for a 6th grader.  Aren't we all taking about elementary school here?  Since kids move about come middle, you really don't have room parents the same way.

And that is kind of the point.  Yes, it was only mini muffins (and juice and oranges which you ignored) and that's ok.  The kids had fun and no one was counting on this for anything more than a little snack as a treat.[/quote]
