I think you will find whether it be kindergarten or junior high there are some that go totally over the top and some that keep it fairly reasonable, that is what we found anyway. We do know of some people that went totally over the top with a kindergarten grad too. |

Re: Grade 8 Graduation
Just have to get them not interested in all that blah blah popularity crap.
1 out of 4 wants all of the Glitz but unfortunately for her it's not what she wants they we spend our money on. She wont be getting the ball gown until she's 18 and paying for it herself. Just refer to the dog who has a leg problem and needs $4,000 for a new hip. soon cuts the cost down. Try picking a kids charity and asking them whats more important helping someone survive or a new frock... you'll findout about your child |
