Birthday Policy
August, 2009
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I'd like to take this opportunity to explain the district policy regarding birthday celebrations.
Due to the high number of students with severe food allergies, the
increasing numbers of students with diabetes, and the district emphasis
on wellness, birthday celebrations may no longer include food. Please
save birthday cakes and cupcakes for your home celebration.
We realize many parents like to do something special in school for their
child's birthday. We'd like to suggest you consider donating a small
gift to your child's classroom. This donation from your child might be
an educational game, a book for the class library, or a pencil for each
student in the room.
All birthdays will be announced daily via our morning news broadcast. Each birthday child will receive a
birthday ribbon from the office and a book from the library.
Please do not send birthday party invitations to school for distribution
unless all students from the class are included. It is very upsetting
to the students who do not receive an invitation.
We appreciate your cooperation.
Thank you again for your help.
Yours truly,
Lorraine Lybarger
Principal
Shevena Cale
Assistant Principal
