Orange: Teacher’s Choice

Birthdays• You are welcome to send in treats

(cupcakes, drinks, etc.) for your child’s birthday. However, don’t feel obligated to do this.

• Please send me a note at least one day ahead if you plan to send in treats. This allows me to make changes to snack time if necessary and so it doesn’t interfere with instructional time.
