Birthday Celebration
Birthdays are a special time and we like to celebrate them for each child. We will celebrate the child’s birthday by singing a birthday song for the birthday child in class. You are also welcome to join your child during their birthday celebration at school.
If you wish to bring a special nut-free snack for your child to share with their classmates, please give your child’s lead teacher at least one (1) day’s advance notice so that we can inform the other families about the special snack you plan to bring. Please also provide us with a list of all the ingredients of the snack, whether it is homemade or store bought.
If you choose to bring party bags to school, please make sure that there is one for every child in the class.
