How did your mother send tzedaka with you when you were in kindergarden and first grade?
Mothers- How do you send tzedaka with your children to school?
I was sent with tzedaka taped to my shirt. Wondering if anyone else had that minhag/ how many other people did/do that.
The tzedaka taped to the shirt is a minhag??
we sometimes draw a nice school bus on a “mitzva tzatel” and put pennies for the wheels.
well if the kid is really responsible put it in his pocket or something. Otherwise, tape it on the shirt! There’s no way it wont get to the tzedaka box from there!!!

I always had it taped to my shirt.
in the good old days we put them in film canisters
my mother brought me a little penny wallet and i kept it in my breifcase……
Film Canisters?!? Whats that?? jk
Also in Film Canisters.
jofes–you said you know me.Who are you?(hint?)
I was in public school for kindergarten (the only year I was in public school) and so I did not have this experience at all.

my students usually come to school with a bunch of pennies at beg of year then when they finish whats intheir little purse thing then they take it home to refill.
in the nursey by my school. they get at the beg of the year a little zipper thing that gets attached to their knapsacks and it says on it mitzvah notes and tzeddakah.
Ha ha, wolfish musings, I was also in public school for kindergarten only. When I was older I used to carry my penny for tzaddakah in my shoe.
wolf – im just curious why you felt it important to let us all know that potent fact?

The person asked what we did in kindergarten. No one *had* to respond — we all did by choice. So I too was answering that I did not do so because I went to public school.
Why do you feel that that fact is so potent?

to be honest I don’t remember what we did in kindergarten, for my own kids they ususally have a pocket on in the knapsack that we devote to tzedakah
Didn’t go to kindergarten 🙁
I remember being sent in with a film canister.
I had it sent in film canisters. my kids are looking over my shoulders and have no idea what I’m talking about!
I don’t remember the penny part, but do remember my mother assuring me she would wait by the bus stop until I got back at 2:00 (and I fully believed her).
Still do!
I just brought my credit card to class every day and said swipe! 🙂
I send it in the little zipper pocket of my kids’ backpacks. Mitzvah notes go in there too. I have to admit that they often come back home a few times before the kid remembers to take it out.
