Then when Zack got to be about 3rd grade, they just stopped. Wouldn't even let the kids exchange valentines.

I thought this was ridiculous, but okay, fine.

We got a new school board, and I think they have a little more common sense, and things are going to go back to the way they were.

I mean, come on!!! It's fun for the kids, people. That's what it's all about.
Amen to that.

Not having celebrations of any kind is silly, if you ask me. My elementary school had all kinds of those. Somehow I miss the old days. Valentines Day went over bigger than Christmas.
