We will celebrate your kiddo without snacks!

For each child's birthday we will have an extra recess. We will still sing to each and every single one, and we will also give a free homework pass for their birthday.

If your child is really attached to bringing in a snack please talk to your homeroom teacher.

Summer Birthday's will be celebrated at their half-birthday or EOY depends on what your child chooses.
