Yup, if you have kids, you will need these pieces sooner or later. And, even if you don't need certain grades or events yet, you will eventually. And, believe me, you don't want to wait until they are about to graduate to get busy on their books!!! My DS is a senior this year and I'm trying very hard to get his school and performance (theatre and chorus) books finished by the time he graduates. I was real good with them up to 7th grade, but now I have 8th-12th to do!!! All the pieces I've collected in the past 2 school swaps will definitely make this project a lot easier!
Cheryl, this swap is usually a smaller swap than most and, unfortunately, unless you have lots of kids, it's one of those that you only need that topic one time so you don't sign up every year for this swap. That's why I've only signed up for 2 groups, I have all the other topics I need - plus some!
When I hostess, I tend to have the minimum size of a group be 3. But, if you have a group of 2 and both of them want to do the group, then I let them do it.
My suggestion would be to leave sign-ups open until after next weekend. That way those swappers that don't get on much during the week have a chance.
