Birthdays

Birthdays are important in first grade. We will make cards for each child on their birthday. You may send a treat if you wish, but it is not expected.

Guidelines from the Health Department mandate that any treat has to be store bought and in the original wrapping. Due to allergies, nonfood items are preferred (pencils, stickers, erasers, book donation to the class).

For the children with a birthday in the summer we will celebrate their birthday the week they are Star of the Week.
