Let's talk Swag. What does each school give you as a parting gift after the tour/play date? We all now know Chapin gives a plant, what else? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

we got a fully-stocked pencil case, a box of dominoes, a flashlight, a thank-you postcard with dc's artwork from the playdate on the front (mailed weeks later), bubbles...I think that's it. [ Reply | More

I thought it was annoying. I don't really want some dc's artwork with whom I have no connection. That seems more like something for current parents, not applicants. B does have a fabulous art program & much of the art in the calendar was fabulous, I just didn't think it was an great thing to give applicant families - It was a waste of paper - ripe for the recycle bin.

LOL. They send the calendar later. No school HAS to give anyone anything. Do you think Spence or Chapin is afraid a slew of accepted kids will reject their offers without pocket protector pencil cases and Mother of Thousands plants? NO. [ Reply | More
