This year we are adhering to the State Health Department Wellness Policy
Birthday snacks must not be cupcakes, cookies, cakes, sweets nor sent home at the end of the day with students. Some parents are making mini gift bags (non-food) or bringing in stickers, pencils, etc. as non-food celebrations.
All snacks and food brought into the classroom and given to students, whether it be a birthday or classroom celebration, must be store bought and packaged with an ingredient label. This ingredient label is essential not only for wellness purposes but if in the event a child has an unknown food allergy, it is vital information to ascertain what ingredient caused the allergic reaction.
Hope this clears up any confusion.
