Wellness and Birthday Celebrations

Birthdays are very exciting and it is special to get to celebrate with friends at school. Some suggested ways to mark the occasion include:

-Donating a copy of a beloved book to the class library

-Sending in stickers, pencils, or other latex-free trinkets to share with the class

-Sending in individually wrapped/bagged “goody bags”

-Having your child participate in the “birthday dress down day” as assigned for their birth month (check the school calendar)

As a reminder, “class treats” such as donuts, cupcakes, cake pops-- regardless of whether they are store bought or home made-- are not allowed for in school consumption. Food/candy treats are generally discouraged, but if they are sent in MUST be securely packaged for transportation home where parents/caregivers can decide when and if the item is appropriate for the dietary concerns of their family.
