Like if I take snacks it has to be store bought with the labels on :( Last time I did not know and took some home made cup cakes for the class, but they were not allowed. Because many of the kids have allergies the school has these restrictions<BR/><BR/>Gattina<BR/>You are right I probably will call<BR/><BR/>Sig<BR/>Wait till you have kids.
