Birthday+Policy

=Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!=
 * Happy Birthday to you! **

Most people like to go to parties, but sometimes they are not invited. It is devastating to be left out. It is the first grade’s firm policy that __individual__ invitations to parties NOT be passed out in class. (In kindergarten, children are not as aware of social situations as they are in first grade. First graders do not have the sophistication to be discreet, either.) Please discourage your child from talking about a party that only a few have been invited to attend.


 * Thank you for your sensitivity in this matter. **


 * ** Birthday party invitations for the whole class, or "all girls" or "all boys", ** ** ** may be passed out at school. (Please mail private invitations.) ** You may get addresses from the class directory, when available. On-line invitations are also an option! //** If the __whole class is invited__ to a celebration, they may be passed out by your child, at the end of the school day. **//

Treats for the Class
==== Your child may bring in a class treat, the morning or afternoon of his/her birthday, depending on the teachers preference, or another day that is arranged with the teacher. Also be creative bring in your child’s favorite healthy snack. **100% Juice is also nice to see!** ====
