CELEBRATIONS

Our environment is a place of tranquility for your child. The anticipation of holiday events can be stressful for young children. We choose to have quiet recognition of holidays. We examine holidays from a cultural standpoint. We do not practice any specific religious beliefs; however we do encourage building values such as honesty, integrity, respect, independence, and responsibility. We also encourage families to come and share their traditions with us.

Your child's birthday is recognized in several ways.

• A ceremony honoring the passage of time and growth. Pictures from home can be used noting birth and each year of life.
• A paper crown noting the special occasion.
• If you wish to send edible treats, please consult your child's teacher before the event to check for food allergies.

If you are planning a party in recognition of your child's birthday, please use the School Directory to mail the invitations and thank you notes.
