I know tomorrow is peppero day and a few of my kids have been asking me to give them some. The thing is I'm at a public school and have over a thousand students. ( Besides I just finished giving out candy for halloween!) Will they all expect them?

Agggh...don't even bother with 1200 kids. Man alive. Buying choco-pies for the girls who get a perfect score on their English exam breaks my bank.

I'd say buy some (maybe) for your coworkers, though. I might do that if I feel inspired to do so.

1200 kids? Everytime you cite that number I feel fortunate to have under a hundred kids: I get to know them, they get to know me, and we celebrate everyone's birthday and... pepero day! Very Happy

There's a thread tying in all pepero threads here

Hope I'm not missing a subtle hint here...

Both Peppermint and I teach at public schools. I hate not knowing most of my students, even their names off the top of my head. At least the hours are good though. We finish when most of you are going in to work. Very Happy

good idea to get some for co-workers.

+/- of having 1200 students.

+ call it an investment for teachers day

I just bought some myself. Emart was selling them pretty cheap. My school is one of the smaller ones (400 students). They kept asking about Pepperos all day today. If they come to my office they can get some or trade for some. I just hope there aren't too many or it will be back to the store.

Students are supposed to give teachers Peppero sticks, not the other way around!! So far my desk is stacked. I'm "recycling" as someone mentioned earlier. Giving them to other teachers, and eating all the awesome white chocolate ones...MMMMMMMMMM
