When my kids were growing up (also in MN) they stopped letting us send home
made goodies because of Hepatitis is what they said. I always loved to
send the baked goods.

Just so you know that the world hasn't gone completely insane everywhere, I'll
share with you. I teach kindergarten. I absolutely love it when parents send
in homemade treats, snacks, bread, etc. I welcome them all with open arms (and
my students welcome them with open mouths).

My daughter is taking her son to his pre-school
Halloween party this morning along with Rice
Krispie treats (with black and orange sprinkles)
and pumpkin-raisin-chocolate-chip cookies.
The only restriction: The school has a sign on
the front door claiming "This is a peanut-free zone".

First grade teacher here, and I also love and appreciate homemade
treats. We have an annual cake auction at my school and we get some
gorgeous homemade cakes. I'll be sad if that tradition ever ends.

My child whos in kindergaten never have bake sales. Back when I was in
elementary schol I remember the bake sales. I love to cook & bake & would
really for the school to have a bake sale. They keep have lame ideas to
raise money for the school...but I think a good ole bake sale can raise some
cold hard cash. :-)

Take care,

Yes, but evidently not as much as magazine subscriptions,
wrapping paper, frozen pizzas, candy bars, frozen cookie dough,
ad nauseam, literally.

Thank you!

I bake for our friends and family, and of course check on allergies
and preferences, but to say it's against the rules to bake for teachers
or a bake sale? Why have bake sales? Why have potlucks if nobody can
make the food? Can't people just decide not to buy stuff with allergens
in it, or not eat the food brought by Mrs Snow who always uses yucky
ingredients?

Regards,
Ranee (who has made one teacher gift for Christmas already, and has
to make another for the Spanish teacher)

Indeed. The Ever Spectacular 10-year-old in the family brings home
fund raising catalogues from which, of course, we feel obliged to
purchase. Absolute utter cr*p. We have to just *comb* through it to
find something to purchase that isn't complete junk or completely
useless. I'd far rather just write the school a check and forget the
charade that we're getting value for the purchase.

Yeah, and the school/whatever gets pennies on the dollar. It's a
huge scam. Don't even *think* of donating to police leagues, like
that, it's a SCAM.
