?about rewards given at school?

...most juices have more sugar then any of the diet caffeine free sodas that were removed from the machines at the high school.....

Fruit juices (real ones, not those high-fructose corn syrup ones) are still considered healthier than diet sodas. Diet sodas may not have the sugar, but they have all kinds of other unhealthy stuff in them.

Oh, and I don't think I ever actually told the OP... Although I'd like my kids school to encourage healthy eating habits, I wouldn't really expect them to change anything just for my child either. I'm happy to hear you informed your parents about the choices available and gave them the opportunity to voice their opinion, because I think that is their right, as the parents. If the other parents are fine with it, I wouldn't change my whole system, either (unless of course you change your mind about it ).

Thank you to you all for you oppinions. I have never had a parent say anything about our (second grade's) reward system. My parents supply most all of the treats or give money to buy them.
Believe me, I don't give my own DD coke or candy much, but she does have it as a treat. I feel that moderation is the key or they will eat it all when they discover it!
We are revamping our rewards, the food choices anyway, since we are a peanut free school(as of this year) we could not find many choices for the kids to choose from.
I try to give the kids individual rewards as well as class rewards. The individual rewards are given out weekly and hopefully I will need 16 each week, since that is how many kids I have this year. The class rewards are about once a month.
Someone said extra computer time... that is a great idea, we have abrand new computer lab in our K-2 building.
Again than you for your opinion and support, also thank you for not throwing flames at me or any of the other posters!
