[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 353668, member: 6705"] A DOLLAR AND SIXTY FIVE CENTS????? TM, can I send my kids to you please????? At least for lunch? Jett, in 5th grade, is $2.50 per day. Onyxx (in the alternative school) is $2.75. The junior high and high school are $3.25. And we make too much to qualify for even reduced price lunches. I tried having them pack, but gave up when they (OK, mostly Onyxx) began eating EVERYTHING I BOUGHT FOR LUNCHES... The Monday I came home to discover she's eaten an ENTIRE CASE of applesauce cups, I gave up. (In that case, that was 36 - 6-6packs). And, yes, I tried locking them up - I just don't have THAT MUCH ROOM in my bedroom. Jett has an account, which is good because he loses money. He doesn't get to buy extras. However I discovered he was trading things... Sigh. I can only try. And since when are cheese-filled breadsticks with marinara or nacho cheese sauce HEALTHY??? They are supposed to take snacks to school for mid morning, so I was sending him with a Capri Sun or other juice box and something healthy-ish. NOT ALLOWED TO SEND JUICE - too sticky. Apples/oranges? Too sticky and messy. Their suggestion is... GET THIS... CHEEZ ITS or other snack crackers. And water. (I actually got a nasty email from the teacher the day I tried to send celery with cream cheese - apparently Jett made a mess.) Sigh. [/QUOTE]
