Dear Ms. Teacher,

I received your snack calendar, however, I send my son with a snack to school everyday in the side pocket of his backpack. I have no problem with sending/bringing an item or two for class parties and his birthday but I cannot fathom sending or bringing snacks for the class even once per month.

To explain it better: My son is too small to carry that much snack by himself. There really isn't room on the bus for him to "lug" on extra stuff that can't fit in his backpack with the other items he already is carrying. It is completely improbable for me to call in late to take snacks to the class, unless it is something like his birthday. And, whether it makes sense or not, it's uneconomical for me to provide snacks for the class even once per month. I can personally save money and provide better nutrition by making snacks for my son but because of asinine policies I cannot make snacks for the classroom and store bought products are expensive.

I understand this prevents my son from participating in the "class snack" but that is quite fine. Like I stated, he will always have a snack in the pocket of his backpack. He can also eat whatever is left from his lunch.

Sincerely,



The Mom
