The First Grade team has decided to eliminate all food items from birthday parties celebrated at school. There are many reasons we feel this change is necessary. We are trying to be positive role models promoting a healthy lifestyle and wellness (healthy food choices fits in wonderfully with our school lunch program). There are some students who cannot participate on their birthday for a variety of reasons and we feel a consistent procedure is more equitable. We have also witnessed the pressure it puts on parents who are often times multi-tasking. Since birthdays are random by nature, there is no way to regulate just how many extra sweets a week comes into the classroom.
Birthdays are special and we will celebrate this important day in the classroom and make your child feel as special as they deserve. The focus will be on your child and not on the treat.
Thank you for your continued support.
