BIRTHDAYS

We love to celebrate birthdays in school! Your child may share a small treat with the class on his/her birthday.
Please adhere to the district's wellness policy when purchasing the treats. You can send in the treats with your child
or you can leave them in the office and I'll pick them up. However, it is a strict policy of mine that children are not
allowed to distribute party invitations in the classroom for an outside party unless one of the following occurs:

All of the girls are invited
All of the boys are invited
The entire class is invited

I try to develop a sense of community within the classroom and it is heartbreaking to see the look of disappointment
on the faces of those children who have not received a birthday party invitation. Very often the same boys and/or
girls are chosen to attend the parties, and the same children are always left out. Please understand that it is for your
child's benefit that I adhere strictly to this policy. Any invitations that do not adhere to this policy will be
returned home. I do appreciate your cooperation. There are 20 students presently enrolled in our classroom. Also,
if your child has a summer birthday, we will have a special day in June to celebrate all summer birthdays!
