\t\t\t\t\"Photo<\/a> Photo by Pilcher Photography[\/caption]The Stapleton MCA had a big gaffe recently when they released a 2015-16 calendar featuring Stapleton\u2019s cutest kids<\/a>. The MCA had hoped the calendar would be appreciated the same way the dog calendar is, but it did not go over as planned. \u201cWe thought that with the dog calendar being so popular, why not introduce a calendar about what Stapleton is most known for; kids,\u201d claimed MCA President Liza Kampstra. \u201cIt was meant to continue to keep people involved, and to put out a really fun calendar for community members. We did not realize there would be so many angry parents, in regards to who was included and who wasn\u2019t.\u201d\n\nKampstra says they used the dog calendar as a gauge as to how many people would be upset about not having their photos included. \u201cWe only received a handful of emails from people disappointed about their dogs not being included in the calendar,\u201d said Kampstra. \u201cSo, we thought, what could possibly go wrong on doing one with kids?\u201d Well, the MCA received hundreds upon hundreds of angry emails from parents abut their kids not being included in the calendar. \u201cWe had no idea it would get that reaction,\u201d says Kampstra. \u201cWe of course received over a thousand submissions of kids, but could only include 50 for the calendar. The angriest emails actually came from people where we used one of their kids but not the others.\u201d\nLooking back, many parents wish they wouldn\u2019t have submitted photos. \u201cI don\u2019t know what I was thinking,\u201d says parent Amy Jepsen. \u201cI saw the idea, and figured why not submit the photos of my cute kids? Even if they had gotten in the calendar, I would have realized it was a bad idea.\u201d Sarah Fitzpatrick is even more upset. \u201cI have one kid in, and one kid out,\u201d says Fitzpatrick. \u201cThe calendar says \u2018Cutest Stapleton Kids.\u2019 Now I have to try to make sure neither kid ever sees this, or at least until they can have a sense of humor about it.\u201d\nMany residents are asking that they recall the calendars, or simply not distribute any more. \u201cWe understand the frustration of some in the community,\u201d says Kampstra. \u201cBut, we put a lot of time and money into this, so we don\u2019t just want to flush that down the drain.\u201d Kampstra says this will probably be the first and only issue of that calendar, however. \u201cWe realize this particular calendar has caused some anger, and moving forward, we will probably just stick to household pets.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
