Birthdays
As student birthdays are popping up, just a quick reminder that if your child would like to bring
in treats, please send in a store bought goodie as there are food allergies in the classroom.
However, students do not need to bring a treat and could decide to give classmates a small gift
(pencil, eraser), make a donation to the classroom (board games, books), or bring nothing at
all - we will still celebrate their special day!
