Treats for Celebrations
Just a gentle reminder to parents: if you are planning to provide treats to be handed out in class for a special celebration, such as a birthday, they need to be individually sealed/wrapped. An example would be Rice Crispy Treats that were factory sealed.
Her is another GREAT option for you as well:
In addition to providing breakfast and lunch, did you know USD 231 Nutrition Services also cater birthday treats directly to the 5th grade classrooms? Hassle-free, safe and affordable options to celebrate your student’s special day.
