Brandy--don't give up--this is a definition of what you CAN do not what you can't...

No donuts with dad--how about Fruits with Families, or Bonding with Biscuits....Bonding with Buns (Cinnamin that is)...Nutso with nuts (and such)....Coffee with cake--Muffins with Moms doesn't mean chocolate muffins. See what the cafeteria is serving for breakfast and follow those trends...

Pancake breakfasts, Jingle Bell Jogs (we did that) with oatmeal cookies and milk and letters to Santa....

Welcome back Watermellons complete with seed spitting contests!

Family Fun/Craft Mornings or Afternoons (especially good around Mother's day to get the dads in with their children)...Advertise it as
Crafts for Kids and Dads....Just what Momma Ordered!

Do a CPR class for moms...EVERYONE NEEDS THAT CLASS....

Mom's and Moppets Morning and serve whatever the heck is allowed....

I KNOW you can do this....and we're here to help!

Ok- We had our summer meeting last night to brainstorm and we had so many things going...the juices were flowing. UNTIL...our principal said that the Lance guy was there and took out the snacks...no more cupcakes brought in for birthdays (maybe)...all snacks in the machine have to be healthy.

Well

---

our ideas were doughnuts w/ dad...muffins w/ mom...pizza parties...trunk-o-treat and have the classrooms raise the candy to be given away.........

I am about to pull my hair out. Just when we get some creative juices flowing (thanks to this board) we are going to get knocked down.

HOW CAN YOU HAVE FUN IF YOU CAN ONLY REWARD W/ DRIED FRUIT AND NON SALTED PEANUTS.
This is a state policy and we aren't sure how far they will take it. We are hoping to be able to get away w/ it this year.

Has anyone else ran across this? If so, what are you doing to have the same amount of fun?

I thought we were doing good. We feel a little crushed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
