Birthday Celebrations
We think it is very important to acknowledge the growth of each child in our community. We will celebrate in class with a walk around the sun for each year of life. We are no longer allowing food treats, but you may bring a copy of your child's favorite book to donate to our library to commemorate the occasion. Here are some guidelines to make it easier on all of us and ensure that we can continue to have our wonderful celebrations. Summer Birthdays: July Birthdays can be celebrated during the first semester of school. June Birthdays can be celebrated during the second semester. Your child's half birthday is a logical time to celebrate. Pick a date and email me to check the calendar for conflicts. This will help to avoid having too many birthdays during the last week of school. Please send me an email to make a reservation for your child's birthday celebration in order to avoid having too many in a day. Please remember not to send food for a treat. Thank you!
