Hey, my sons attend a preschool which I pay weekly fees for that <STRONG>required</STRONG> each parent to purchase a small gift for the classroom gift exchanges, in addition to contribute a food item for the party. The max was to be $5. When I saw what was being distributed, it was clear parents did <EM>not</EM> heed that guidance, although they didn't get too outrageous. I made sure I got good quality gifts right at the max level (Tonka Trucks and Hot Wheels cars). But given that this is not an overly toney area, I always wonder about those parents who really don't have that extra $5.PatriciaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572087157439187319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395293021442031324.post-50333208359198399192007-12-21T10:54:00.000-05:002007-12-21T10:54:00.000-05:00Have a merry Christmas, Jennifer!

He's telling the truth though, it just feels betters to think the other way.<BR/><BR/>I'm headed out to Darius' nursery school Christmas program, but I'm going to work at the library up in that area for a couple of hours first.Chicki Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866110558880351017noreply@blogger.com
