BIRTHDAYS
(If desired cupcakes, or cookies, or donuts, packaged juice—anything that
does NOT need to be refrigerated or prepared) Best time is just before break
around 10:15.
---The birthday celebrator picks buddies to help pass out snacks.
To make it easier for parents, drop off snacks in the morning when you drop
off your student.
