We celebrate BIRTHDAYS in healthy ways!
Our students love to celebrate their birthdays with their peers and teachers.
We also recognize that we have the opportunity to promote healthy behaviors without making food the
focus of the celebration.
For that reason we have a non-food birthday policy.
It is certainly not a requirement or expectation for you to provide anything, if you wish to do so, we ask you
consider other options:
●
●
●
●
Party favors; stickers, crayons, pencils, stamps for each student
Donate a classroom book and do a read-a-loud.
Donate a class game, puzzle, or activity to the class
Teachers can provide other ideas that are favorites of students
We will continue to have school-wide celebrations such as the Harvest Party and the Holiday Party, at
which we will share nutritious snacks and will allow one sugary treat.
