I love our school. Last night, the superintendant (wonderful woman) had a meeting (a follow-up to one we had a month ago) with the parents of kids with food allergies. The purposes of the meeting were to keep us informed on changes in our cafeterias (we are going to Chartwell's), and to get feedback from us on what we want/need for our children. The SI is so great that she is even going to talk to the directors of some preschools that parents are having trouble with regarding allergies (they are not under her control, so she cannot tell them what to do, but she has more clout than a "hysterical parent").
And she gave us good news last night--next year there will be no food for birthday celebrations. We got that news first--the notice will go home from school today. The ban does not extend to holidays, but I think that's OK--there are far fewer holidays than birthdays.
I just wanted to share. I know some of might be jealous, but really, there is no reason why it can't be like this. I'm just lucky to live someplace where it is.

That is wonderful. How fortunate you are to have such a great relationship with your school. It's nice to know there *are* some administrators who show such compassion....
