Can my child celebrate their birthday at school?

Your child will be assigned snacks on their birthday or a day 
near their 
birthday.  You may send a snack that your child will be able to 
pass out to 
their friends. You may send birthday party invitations IF you are 
inviting 
all of our friends. We sing to your child, they wear a birthday 
crown and 
they will receive a treat from Mrs. Gilliam.
