For many schools, Halloween kicks off the 1st Classroom Party for the new school year.  Signups are posted and the party planning is under way, thanks to all the parent and PTA involvement.  Who is bringing the paper products?  Invest in reusable partyware.  Bring the set to the classroom, after use put them in a recycling box, bring them home and wash them in the dishwasher, put back into the sacks and you are all set for the next party!  Here is a great story about Do you Dread the Trash after your Child's Birthday or Classroom Bash?  Kids Konserve has parties in the Bag!
