Veritaserum Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 My friend's son (in PS 1st grade) has a JW child in his class. The teacher sent home a note saying the boy can have 'plain cards with no hearts, cupids, etc. on them'. We think this means his parents approve of his participation within those parameters. My friend is wondering if a card with a picture of a dinosaur that says "You're Amazing" would be ok. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I would guess so. So much of anything is personal decision and individual conscience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicAnn Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yep. What Pamela said. I think it's very kind and considerate of your family to respect his wishes and take them into account! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfries Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'll echo what the others said :) Sounds like it fits within the families given "parameters". I'll say it's very kind of the teacher & all parents to be so accommodating. OTOH, I, personally, would hope no one bought "special" cards (in addition to regular Valentine cards) to accommodate us. We, personally, likely wouldn't participate at all with that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks! I don't think she bought special cards. I think they bought a variety pack and were trying to see if one of the cards in the pack would be suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm not JW, but I think that card should be fine based on what the note said. It sounds like they will let him participate with the idea of exchanging cards as a sign of friendship, with no actual reference to Valentine's Day or the imagery associated with it. I'm surprised she didn't specifically say no cards using the word Valentine; I've seen lots of cards with no hearts or cupids that still say Happy Valentine's Day or such.
