We are trying to make your child’s birthday a meaningful one, while at the same time eliminating the endless amounts of sugar that children often eat. Instead of sending a sugary treat to school on your child’s birthday, how about letting your child “treat” the class to a birthday book. The birthday child may bring a book to give to the class. This book would become a permanent part of our classroom library. What a nice way for your child to share his/her birthday -- and much easier on the teeth!
