My child has a birthday; what can I do?
I will help pass out party invitations to the whole class (13 + your child) or
all the girls or all the boys. Please send a note letting me know. You can
send a treat to class. Treats can be left in the office for me to pass out, or
you can come with them at 2:15, and we will pass them out at 2:30. Cupcakes,
cookies, ice cream sandwiches, doughnuts, etc. have been sent. These are
"special" treats, not a meal, and your child will eat about 1 a month during
the year.
I only want to invite a few classmates; can you still help
with invitations?
No, you can send them through the mail, email parents, or call them on the
phone. Use your School Directory for the information. I know it's hard to have
lots of second graders at a party, but I also do not want to hurt feelings
during school time. Thank you for understanding.
What about summer birthdays?
Please let me know when you want to celebrate your child's birthday during
school. Some ideas are "half birthday" or the month of May.
