<p>well that does seem a bit much 1sokkermom
if classrooms are having parties everyday- it seems that would take time from doing school related activities–if parents were devolving into a competition and i was the teacher- I perhaps would decide to have a birthday celebration once a month- and have parents contribute to a fund to honor all the birthdays that month rather than get into the treadmill of forever raising the bar of sugar consumption</p>
<p>Ds classroom had parents bring snack everyday- it worked out to everyone bringing snack for a couple weeks.-
I made english muffin pizzas a lot, since they were easy and cheap.
I realize taht there will always be kids with various health issues that can’t eat certain foods, and when I know about those, I do try to provide things that either take that in consideration, or just bring them something that is equally as celebratory, but I think it is hypocritical for school systems to decide that having an occasional sweet ( I think the classroom with the everyday treats is an exception- in my kids classrooms, it was probably a few times a year), as unhealthy, while serving the kids, high salt & fat foods in the cafeteria</p>
