Non-Food Birthday Celebrations: Strongly Recommended

Non-Food Birthday Celebrations: Strongly Recommended

  • Sending in food treats increases the spread of germs.  In addition, we have students with food allergies and other dietary restrictions that cause food treats to exclude many students.  For those reasons (and a few others), we are strongly encouraging “non-food birthday celebrations” during the school day.  For some “non-food” ideas, please click HERE.
  • Always check with your child’s teacher first to see what he/she finds acceptable for their classroom and be sure to provide advanced notice to make sure that they can fit the birthday plans into their schedule.
