Question?

I have been a vegetarian since 1981. I am raising my 7 year old son
vegetarian. I am looking for ideas to take to his public elementary school to offer as alternatives to Ice cream parites, pizza parties, Smores making, cupcakes for birshdays etc. Could be food or non food ideas. If you have some or know a resource you can recommend I wouild be very grateful. Thank you, Margaret.

My reply.

Hi, Margaret:

Thanxs for your email. Appreciate the contact. Yes it’s abit of a challenge to navigate the school (food) system when you’re a veggie and or have a veg child. I hear ya.

As for alternatives – i would suggest the following:

• Bake Sale – with fruit type pastries, cookies, cakes, etc.
• Car Wash
• Library Trip
• Trail Hike
• Museum Days – many cities have free museum days.
• Veggie Burger Party – bring some or suggest a potluck type deal where other parents MAKE some. Or better yet have a Veggie Burger Bake-Off, turn it into a contest.
• Pet Day – where kids bring in their pets.
• Decorating Contest – have kids decorate something and again turn it into a contest – kids love to compete and be challenged. As American Idol has proved, kids LOVE TO VOTE on things.
• T-shirt Day – kids get to make a statement by wearing a groovy tee.
