Hello! There have been a lot of questions about birthdays (we have 4 this week). So I wanted to let you all know about the birthday policy at LPES. Also, please keep in mind that we have many different allergies in our classroom. Please consider sending in something other than food, because some students may feel left out. Thanks for all you do! Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Here is what our school website says about birthdays: We all love celebrating kids' birthdays - there's no doubt about that. But a school birthday celebration doesn't need to involve cupcakes or other unhealthy foods. Many families have multiple birthday parties for their child's actual birthday, with extended family and with their child's friends. Additionally, many students in any given class have birthdays in the same week and sometimes on the same day! That's a lot of cake, cupcakes, and ice cream. Plus, many children have food allergies and other health conditions that can cause them to feel left out of such celebrations. So perhaps the school birthday celebration, if there is to be one at all, should focus on the birthday girl or boy, rather than the food. Here are a few fun ideas to celebrate birthdays in the classroom:
Thank you for your support and understanding! We always ask that parents contact their child's teacher before bringing food to school.

I hope everyone had a wonderful track out! I know I did! Copper loved having us home so much. He looked very sad when he saw us getting ready for our workday this morning. Here's a picture of him over track out, lounging around.
