[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 579635, member: 1233"] Duckie is a very special, very loving young lady. I think in many ways she 'get it' about those in life who are different, WO, I don't really like that policy. The celebration could be handled in many more child friendly ways, in my opinion. I think either the indiv teacher or the group of teachers teaching a grade should decide for the students. Of course if they want something crazy, like a kiissng contest or whatever, then yes, time for cooler admin heads to prevail, but who wuould think of that? Oops, have I jinxed Vday with kissing booths? Oh well, you all Know what I mean?, I think. Is there maybe a way to have all the kids make valentintes at school? there are all kinds of lessons you can put into making them, esp if they are in elem. Kids get some basic guidelines and prntables and craft supplies, they are told how many to make,and that if they are mean to anyone in their card (as IC's kids experienced) or don't give a card, then they cannot give any others OR particpate in the party. I would ask parents to provide some themed snacks (or not themed, not a super huge crisis if the cake isn't heart shaped or whatever) and have a party. After elem school? not sure would do anything. Mostly because having mom around spoils everything. When thank you has a party, he wants chips. And sometimes bean dip, which he does NOT need or get, none of his teachers is bad enough to deal wth a whole class of 13yo's who just ate a bunch of bean dip, Know what I mean?? That is the reserve ammo. So it is trcky if you are past elem school, but for the most part, I always thought it was sweet, though I rarely got carts after third gr when they stopped making you give them to everyone. If you watch after Vday, and you go to thrift stores, you can find a lot of unopened boxes of vday cards. If you can store them to next year, it makes things easy. (If you are not like me and you can fnd them, lol.) [/QUOTE]
