Birthdays

=**Birthdays **= = = In MAC1 birthdays are celebrated once a month. On the date of the party, students celebrated that month will receive birthday hats/crowns, a small celebration, and then there will be the time for a small snack or treat. We are asking for a parent coordinator for each month that will get in touch with other parents regarding food, plates, flatware, whatever…basically make sure everything is covered. This can be done through phone calls and emails. If your child has a summer birthday we will celebrate his/her ½ birthdays. July birthdays will be celebrated with the January kids and August birthdays will be celebrated in February.

Birthday Treat Policy

Here is a list of the preferred treats you can send in for your child

__ ALLERGIES __ Our classroom is a NUT FREE (both peanuts and all tree nuts) environment. We have many students and adults that are allergic to nuts. We also have allergies to **seafood**, **milk**, **soy** and **eggs**. What does this mean? It means that there will be no snacks that include these foods allowed in the classroom. Since we buy our own class snacks for the children this should not be a problem. The other issue would be for celebrations (birthdays, welcome back breakfasts…). If you do bring in snacks for these celebrations, please be aware that they need to be free of all of these foods.Thank you for your consideration in this serious situation.


 * If you would like to sign up to help organize a celebration please email one of our room parents **** . **
