Birthdays and Classroom Parties

Birthdays

At Laurel, we celebrate our students’ birthdays with a birthday book presented by the principal on or near their birthday. 

  • Students with birthdays during Summer Break are celebrated on or near their half-birthday (6 months from their birthday).

     

  • Families may bring birthday treats.  This must be arranged with the teacher ahead of time.  Due to allergies and nutritional restrictions, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE NO FOOD ITEMS.  Homemade treats are not allowed under any circumstances.  Healthy, prepackaged snacks, such as fruit, pretzels, etc. are possible options, but nonfood items are strongly preferred. 

  • Invitations to birthday parties may not be brought to school unless all the children in the class will receive one.
