Based on feedback and in collaboration with the Laurel Ridge PTA and the
Robinson Pyramid elementary schools, we have determined that during the
school day, we will celebrate student birthdays with non-edible treats
beginning this school year (2019-2020). Cupcakes, candy, and/or any other
edible food items will not be allowed.
Our teachers are committed to recognizing your students’ special days and
will be providing students a menu of items from which to choose to
celebrate their birthdays. These items may include and would not be
limited to choices such as pajama day for the whole class, the opportunity
to sit in a special chair for the day or an invitation for a special guest to read
to the class.
In addition, our PTA has generously agreed to provide a birthday pencil for
every student on their birthday (or half-birthday for summer birthdays).
