well I guess I am lucky because my school district does not have this "No Food"policy. We normally plan small classroom parties for holidays etc.. We try to offer one sweet snack such as cupcakes and we also always have a healthy snack as well chees & crackers, veggies and dip, gold fish crackers etc.We always send a note home telling the parents about it. i feel if your child has an allergy to something it's up to you to send them in a snack for the party so they will not feel left out. As a child I always had celebrations in school and I looked forward to it and ity was a great treat. I see nothing wrong with an occasional party. Good nutrition should start at home a snack at school will not make a child obese. I also love to send home small candy bags for holiday's as well. If they don't want their child to eat it then they can throw it away when they get home. Children work so hard today they deserve some fun as well!
