We have 400 kindergardeners. about.

each typically spends 2-5 dollars on 100 day projects.  id rather donste it in lieu of the activity.  thats 800-2000 dollars.

See, THIS needs to be put in front of the admministration in CLEAR BLACK AND WHITE . . . because, obviously, they do NOT see the potential VALUE (literally, in dollars and cents) as to possible options . . .

Dollars and CENTS to the school


Dollars and SENSE so far as the safety and inclusion.

For crying out loud!!!!

I'm not sending Valentines to the kids with brown eyes this year.  I know it's not their fault they have brown eyes, but maybe someone will understand how it feels.

Sounds like a workable plan . . . truly . . . with a brief note of explanation to the staff.

Naturally-- point was that there are plenty of reasons why the HEALTH department wouldn't allow food to be served to the public from someone's kitchen...

but put it in the context of feeding kids in a school setting and suddenly it's fine...   

That's what I cannot understand.

Makes NO sense!

Same school allows homemade treats left and right.  It's not their issue, it's mine.  God forbid that I say no when my NKA daughter goes there.  I sat there and watched DS2 pick at his nose repeatedly this morning - I can just see him and any other child helping mom.

They keep throwing back in my face that it's personal responsbility (on DSs and I) and if the cost is too high then maybe my kids can either sit out some of these parties.  WTF? 

By the way, the WORD (notice that I said WORD) is Creativity and Imagination (I count those as two words, what is wrong with me, I didn't even have to take off my shoes).  So we lack creativity and imagination to include all children.

Oh. Small footprints. Countertops. yes. 'cept I don't have cats....

No-- as noted, I wash them before use.  Why would I do that if I thought that our cats followed the rules when we aren't here?     Besides, it's the tiny footprints on the cooktop's glossy black glass that give one of them away...

My cats are not allowed on counters,

Those cats are pulling that Jedi Mind crap on you aren't they?

I've eaten food from my HIV+/AIDS afflicted friends kitchens many times, FWIW.  I'm not squeamish about it-- but yeah, add in cat-asserole...     Nooooooooooo, thank you.

My cats are not allowed on counters, and my counters are WASHED before I use them anyway.  There's a reason.

I wonder who gets the (peanut butter) cheerios carefully bagged up in hepatitis-Mom's kitchen....

You do know there are a good number of healthcare workers with hepatitis and or AIDS, yes? I mean, I wouldn't want any person who doesn't use standard precautions bagging up anything for my child, hepatitis or not. There are children in school with either, (maybe both) and aside from fulminant unusual illness, or staff with loose lips, you won't be able to pick them out. Teachers too.

Personally, I don't want anyone with CATS or BIRDS feeding my child from their kitchen, but that's just me. I've never had so much as a cup of coffee from my best friend's kitchen, (cats and birds)  but our friendship isn't founded on that.

I'm the same way.

maybe suggest to the teacher that she include a health unit on diabetes during the 100 Day celebration . . .

So presumably the goal is for the students to consume 100 teaspoons of sugar to celebrate 100 days of school?

Maybe you should add some insulin syringes to the condoms/lube party pack for the future type 2 diabetics.

I so heart this!

Do we have a member here who might express you 100 rabbit turds?

Or perhaps 200 -- 100 for the project and the other 100 to sprinkle on cupcakes.



Hang in there, YKW.
