Parents/guardians may send in a special treat to school for their student's birthday. The following must apply in order to be shared with their classmates:

• store bought with a nutrition label (not in-home bakery)
• unopened
• nut-free

These will be shared at a designated time determined by their teacher after approval by the school nurse.

24-Hour Rule - Please do not send your child to school with the following in the last 24 hours:
