You may send in a snack to celebrate your child's birthday. The snacks will be eaten in the classroom so birthday snacks should be items that can be kept at room temperature and purchased from a store. Also, please avoid messy items such as cupcakes. Suggested snacks are: brownies, cookies, or donuts.

Important Reminders:
Illness- Keep your child home if they do not feel well.
Snack- We will have a short break each afternoon for a snack. Please make sure that your child brings a snack each day. Once again, please avoid messy snacks. Items such as yogurt, pudding or fruit cups should be eaten at lunch.
