You get a note from school, saying that the celebration is on such and such day, the folloing kids in the classroom have their birthdays on that month. Parents, please coordinate the treats among yourselves. Good God, seriously? There's a day a month AT SCHOOL dedicated to birthday parties? How very educational. I do think parents worry about this sort of thing way too much. My parents showed up for the school Christmas concerts and usually for one performance of any play I happened to be in, but I think they may have made it to two track meets in the eight years I competed and they certainly never chaperoned anything or brought cupcakes to school for my whole class (not that I remember any other parents ever doing anything like that either). And I never had any problem with my parents' level of involvement. If anything I preferred it that way.
solution: have kids birthdays in summer! my mom never had to make cupcakes. 
i keed, i keed...
