Food to share:
A special treat may be sent in to share with the entire class for a few Selected Holiday Class Parties.
Selected Holiday’s for Class Parties:
Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day, Field Day, Catholic Schools week.
If your student’s class is having a holiday party, please reach out directly to the teacher, in advance, to discuss food items to be brought in. We strongly encourage the treat to come in the form of a traditional "party favor" such as pencils, stickers, bookmarks, mini-notebooks as opposed to food items.
If a student decides to bring in a food “treat” for the entire class, please let your teacher know at least 3 days in advance, that way the parents of students with food allergies have time to prepare/purchase an alternative treat for their child.
Healthy treats are strongly encouraged- think FRUIT!
All treats need to be individually packaged, factory sealed, with the manufacturer’s ingredient label visible on the individual/original packaging (no Bakery or Home-baked treats will be permitted).
Packaging states treats were made in a nut-free facility
Students with food allergies can have life-threatening reactions upon exposure to even the slightest amount of allergen. Please be mindful that we have students/faculty, and staff with allergies and many are not limited to peanuts.
It is our goal to ensure that everyone in our school can safely learn and work in a safe and supportive environment.
DONATE
Underwear, gym pants (5-6yr), and socks-Pre-S/Pre-K sizes-both boys and girls
