4th Grade End of School Party

So not only did I have a 12th birthday party for my daughter on Friday but I also had an "End of Year" party for my son.
I am going to spread my knowledge on this subject.
I have been a Class Mom way too many time. I have always enjoyed it and am a little sad that soon I won't have anyone to do it for. After 5th grade, there is no need for a Class Mom. (sniff, sniff)

This year's party.

1. Relay race. Kids love it
2. Water Balloon Toss. Always a hit!!
3. Freeze dancing. Very silly.
4. Eating. Make sure you have plenty of food on hand. As a Class Mom you set the tone. My tone is always, eat as much sugar as possible. There's plenty of time to eat healthy, this is not one of them. I once worked with a Class Mom who's son was allergic to literally everything. She decided that because her son couldn't have it, no other child could either. It was one of the worst party years we ever had. I am very understanding of food allergies. My son is allergic to tree nuts and shrimp. I carry an epipen with me at all times, but, I do not expect the rest of the class to do without because of what he cannot have. So that having been said, kids love anything chocolate. Surprisingly if given a choice they also love cut up fruit and popcorn. So I alway make sure I have those options.

Also, remember to just be calm and let the kids and yourself enjoy it. They are only kids once.
Any questions or comments are welcome.
