In an effort to make food in schools healthier, some school districts have actually banned cupcakes at school birthday celebrations.
 
Do you agree with this cupcake crackdown? What would you suggest parents bring to birthday celebrations instead?

Nothing. I suggest parents grab this opportunity with both hands to save themselves time and extra work and keep birthday celebrations to their homes and not worry about sending stuff into the classroom.

I wholeheartedly agree.  Our elementary school does not allow anything to be sent in for birthdays, regardless of whether it's healthy.

I'd fall down on my knees and thank whatever gods came up with a cupcake ban for two reasons 1) my  kid doesn' tneed any more freaking cupcakes -- cupcakes x 30 kids in the class adds up to 30 cupcakes that she didn't need to be eating - she's a big kid with a sugar jones you wouldn't believe 2) I hate absolutely anythig to do with the dreaded class party -- I can barely summon enough enthusiasm to buy some cupcakes at the grocery store let along BAKE THEM (which is something I would never do)

 

good riddance say I -- let them sing happy birthdya and be done with it.

I like cupcakes in school. If it weren't for birthday parties and celebrations at school, my kids would never get any of the sweet stuff.
