Birthdays

 

Students will receive a certificate and a birthday for their birthday! Students can also bring in a favorite book and we can share it with the class.

 

Please do not send any food items or goody bags in due to district policy.

Student Allergies and Classroom Celebrations

 

In order to adhere to the district Wellness Policy and the requirements of the State of New Jersey and the District Life Threatening Food Allergy Protocol, the BRRSD school district will not celebrate birthdays with sugar based food items such as cupcakes, donuts, cakes cookies etc.

 

As a district, our goal is to create a culture that is not solely focused on requiring food at all celebrations.  Brief celebrations for students generally occur one time per month and follow the BRRSD Wellness Guidelines. 

 

Celebrations may vary by grade level and building, however food is not permitted as part of the birthday celebrations.  Parents should not distribute anything to students. Party goody bags are not permitted. 

 

Holiday celebrations may occur up to four times per school year.  Food may be served at these celebrations, but must be fresh fruit, vegetables, or healthy snacks. No sugar based items.
