We welcome birthday treats for your child’s class for his/her birthday. Please send in enough treats for the entire class. Treats must be nut and dairy-free. They must also come along with a list of ingredients. If your birthday treats contain dairy, nuts, or don’t have an ingredient list, they will not be distributed to the class. Whole Foods has no-nut, eggless cake and frosting mixes. Please check with your child’s teacher about specific allergies and an appropriate time to send in the treats. If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse.
