Birthdays- 

This year birthdays will be celebrated at the end of the day. Children may bring in a small treat for the students to eat. Examples include cupcakes, brownies, cookies or individual bags of chips. No elaborate gifts or party bags will be allowed. If you’d like a healthy alternative, send in a fruit tray or decorative pencils/erasers. 

Birthday invitations are NOT allowed!!! If you are giving your child a birthday party and want to invite certain children from the class, you will have to give out those invitations outside of school. You may pass out invitations only if you are inviting the entire class. Too much class time is spent on consoling those who are left out.
