Monthly Birthday Family Breakfasts

Birthdays are a time for celebration and something we would like to all honor at school.  In first grade, we’d like to continue the tradition of having ‘birthday breakfast’ once a month in  your child’s classroom.  We welcome families to join us for this celebration each month - regardless of whether your child’s birthday falls on that month!  We encourage all families to join us in a morning meeting and participate in a whole class greeting. We then will sing a birthday song, and enjoy a special breakfast as a whole group. 

Each month, we will need your help to make the birthday breakfast a success.  We encourage you to sign up ahead of time to supply a special healthy breakfast treat (1-2 months in advance would be helpful).  Breakfast ideas range from juice, muffins, bread, cheese and crackers, fruit salad, veggie and dip, fruit kabobs, yogurt parfait, granola, etc.  All breakfast items need to be peanut-free so please read the labels carefully. Even if you are not able to attend, you can contribute to the breakfast.  If you are not bringing a birthday treat, we welcome you to join as well!

This is a great chance for you to join your child’s class and celebrate with the whole  class community.  Please sign up for a date that works for you and your family to bring a breakfast item to school. (sign up sheet being sent home Monday) Closer to the date that you sign up for, I’ll remind those that signed up and help to coordinate on who will be bringing what.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
