Birthday Treats Reminder
Families,
Please remember that birthday treats should be store bought and peanut free if needed for your child's homeroom. Please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher. More importantly, sheet cakes and cookie cakes require cutting and passing out. We recommend soft pretzels, cupcakes, brownies, etc. Thank you for your assistance and we appreciate celebrating your child's special day!
If your child is a summer birthday, feel free to bring in birthday treats for their half birthday instead of the end of the year. I understand it; I'm a summer birthday!
Online Book Fair is open until February 4th
Here is the link to our online fair
All products get shipped directly to your home.
This option is great if your child missed the fair at school or if you have left over ewallet money to spend!
