BIRTHDAY TREAT CHANGE
Elementary Classroom Birthday Celebrations
This message is to inform you of a change we are making at all Elementary in the Liberty Public Schools for the 2017-2018 school year. As you know, we have been working to transform our school and classrooms to make learning more appropriate and deeper to enhance student learning. As our school continues to evolve, traditional ways of doing things are no longer relevant. Due to the reasons highlighted below, we will now celebrate student birthdays in fun and different ways that does not involve bringing and handing out treats.
-
Most snacks brought for birthdays are unhealthy (cupcakes, cookie cake, donuts, etc.) and many times students are having multiple treats in one day.
-
School staff have to approve snacks for classrooms with allergies and often times the snacks are not acceptable to hand out due to allergies. ( Board Policy JHCF )
-
There is an increase of the number of students with life-threatening allergies.
-
Snacks are expensive and some families are unable to provide snacks for the
class.
-
This plan better supports wellness initiatives at the local, state, and federal
level. ( District Wellness Program Policy ADF )
Every child’s birthday is extremely important to celebrate and recognize and we will still do that in numerous ways. Actually, we are going to increase the ways we celebrate student birthdays. Our school will provide the following to each child on their birthday:
1. Each student will continue receiving a birthday book and will have their name announced in the morning.
2. Parents are able to donate a book for the library “in their child’s name”.
3. Each student will have a special cafeteria recognition during their lunch time.
Parents are encouraged to attend lunch with their child on their birthday.
4. Your child’s teacher may provide another additional classroom celebration as
well. (Special seating, M.V.P. time, etc.)
We thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to find the most appropriate ways to meet the changing needs of our school. We always want to do what is best for kids. We look forward to a great 2017-18 school year!
Sincerely,
Valerie Utecht Principal

Wanted: Aluminum Can Tabs
Our kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders are reading a Show Me Award nominee called Mogie: The Heart of the House by Kathy Appelt. It is a story of a dog that lives at a Ronald McDonald House in Houston. We talked about the point of the Ronald McDonald Houses and looked at the Kansas City program. We've decided that we wanted to help them, so we are having a aluminum can tab drive. Just by collecting aluminum can tabs, we can help those less fortunate! Won't you help us?
RECESS & COATS
Please make sure that your child is coming to school each day with a coat, gloves, and hat. Please help your child practice zipping their coat. We know that sometimes it may seem like it is going to be warm(er), but with the playground being on a hill, it is always pretty windy. Plus, recess is at 10am. If your family needs assistance providing these items, please let us know.
