Birthdays
We love to celebrate birthdays! Below are some helpful guidelines:
~If you plan on sending a special treat, please let me know at least a day in advance. Please, store bought only.
~Please make sure there are enough treats for the whole class (28 students + 1 teacher + 1 Teacher's Aide :D).
~Consider simple treats that are efficient to pass out & clean up (cookies, cupcakes, brownies, popsicles, etc...)
~Only pass out party invitations in class when ALL students are invited. Thanks for being considerate :)
~For those with summer birthdays, you may wish to celebrate their half-birthdays.
~The best time to bring in treats is during lunch (12:15pm).
~Students may NOT pass out goodie bags at school.

~Monetary donations for Agency fund (tax-deductible)
~Funds to purchase a water purifier for our sink
