    At least 4 sometimes 5. I can send another sandwich but it doesn't get eaten.

    My older DD does not actually like PB. She does eat soynut butter and she brings that usually once a week. This week it was twice, but that was a fluke.

    Younger DD likes soynut butter, but prefers PB. I try to alternate them so that she continues to eat both. So about every other week. There are some classrooms at her preschool/daycare that are nut free, but hers is not. The school is considering going nut free, but they are a kosher school and the kids already cannot bring in meat, so they are somewhat hesitant about banning yet another protein.

    (FWIW, PB&J is on our public school lunch menu as an option every day.)

    DS1 and DS2 have some nut allergies and don't eat nuts. They do eat Sunbutter a couple of times a week.

    DD's not yet in K, so I didn't vote, but she's still in preschool and she takes pb&j about once a week, maybe not as often in the winter when she takes more hot lunches.

    I voted for the last option, "never, b/c .. nut free school" but that's not really true. Our school isn't peanut free but out of consideration for families with allergies, I decided that my kids could do without peanut butter during school hours.

    Well, the poll should really be how many days do I SEND a PB&J to school. Because the likelihood of it being EATEN is an entirely different matter. LOL!

    DS is pre-K but eats a lot of peanut butter - we're mostly vegetarian and nuts are our major source of protein during the day for all of us.

    I just purchased almond butter for school lunches b/c it's a peanut-free building (the almond butter is twice as much $$ as peanut butter so otherwise I wouldn't buy it).
