Beverages in School
It is our goal to both teach and model good nutritional habits at school. To that end, students should not bring soda to school as a snack or lunch beverage as it can have detrimental health effects. Students are encouraged to purchase milk, bring juice, or fill water bottles at a fountain for drinking while at school.

Parties at School
All school parties are planned in advance under the direction of PTA Room Parents and the classroom teachers. Some holidays are recognized through classroom activities and other parties are related to classroom instructional themes. Birthday

If you wish to send in a recess snack for your child’s birthday, please check with the classroom teacher first. If you are having a party at home, we request that you do not distribute invitations in school. School buses may not be used for transportation to parties.
