Dear Parents,


As you know, there are a significant number of students in BAC Elementary School that have severe allergies to peanuts and tree nuts and that all instructional areas are “peanut/nut free”.  While desserts have been the traditional “birthday treat” of choice, we believe that it will be in the best interest of all of our children to implement a “non-edible birthday treat policy”.

 

If you choose to send in a “treat” to honor your child, please send in a non-edible item (i.e. birthday pencil, stickers, or any dollar store treasure!).   Remember, sending in a treat has always been an optional addition to our classroom birthday celebration routines.

 

Please know that celebrating a birthday with your child is most important to us and that we will continue to honor all your child’s milestones – including their birthday!  If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us.

 

We look forward to a wonderful year!

 

Sincerely,

The First Grade Teachers
