[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 312870, member: 1169"] Well, I spoke with my sister who is both good friends with this room mom and the pres of the PTA. She was shocked that they were serving stuff Tig couldn't have. Then as we went through the list, she thinks she figured out what happened. RoomMom knows Tig is on the gluten-free, casein-free diet but doesn't know about the problems with apples and chemicals. My sister was surprised to find out the caramel contains caesin so she doubts the RoomMom knows. Tigger is a 5th grader in a self-contained classroom of 2 kids. Due to his late start, he is not able to do gym/art/music with a 5th grade class so we assigned him to a 4th grade class (last year as a 4th grader he was assigned a 6th grade class as he did so well with the more patient older kids). So he isn't officially "in" this homeroom but he does all his mainstream activities with them (lunch/recess/gym/art/music/parties). I think this will be his first time actually entering their classroom as mostly he sees them in the other rooms. His regular classroom is very aware of his food restrictions and they do a good job maintaining them. Our school district only allows 3 parties per year and they can only last 60 minutes including clean-up. This is the first one. Any other reward-type parties are run by staff and as such they don't screw up the allergens. These 3 parties are run by parents. I've sent an e-mail to RoomMom asking her to make the last two 'no food' parties. The problem is when you cross out everything that all 3 allergic kids can't have, there is very little left to serve. I trust Tigger's teacher to ensure that he doesn't get served something he shouldn't have (heck, I trust Tigger to turn it down as he hates the way he feels when he gets something he shouldn't have). But why should a 10-year old be put in that position. [/QUOTE]
