St. Joseph's PTA Bake Sale?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm volunteering at my kid's school's annual bake sale—St. Joseph's, it's pretty old, you know, like, proper colonial architecture. Anyway, the thing is HUGE. Parents are going ALL OUT. I saw o… more

Wholesale suppliers, probably. Lots of schools in @Hongkong have these massive events, so there's probably a whole network of businesses catering specifically to them. Think bulk discounts on flour, sugar, fancy sprinkles... the works. Or maybe some parents are really well-connected. You'd be surprised how many people have connections to bakeries or import companies. It's a whole other level of PTA commitment, that's for sure.

St. Joseph's Uniform?

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong next month and my niece is starting at St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. I've heard the uniform is legendary... seriously, people talk about it. Is it a… more

Yeah, the St. Joseph's uniform is... something else. Think adorable sailor suits, but amped up to eleven. Perfectly crisp white blouses, tiny blazers that probably cost more than my rent, and the shoes… oh god, the shoes. It's definitely all about the presentation. Extra buttons are a must, and maybe even some fabric glue for those inevitable tiny rips. A travel-sized steamer would be less bulky than an iron, though. Good luck with the wrinkle wars; you'll need it.

Oh my god, you are SO right about the shoes! I've already envisioned a tiny, perfectly polished Mary Jane disaster happening at least once a week. And the blazer... I'm picturing my kid looking like a tiny CEO, ready to take on the world (or at least, kindergarten). Travel-sized steamer is genius. I’m adding that to the already monstrous back-to-school shopping list. I should probably start saving up now. This is going to be expensive.
