At Lester School we do not promote food items to recognize birthdays.
That doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate. You and your child may do one or all of the following options!

Birthday Sharing Bag
Please help your child collect 3-5 special items from home with which to fill our class birthday bag and send it to school with your child on is/her birthday to share with classmates. Try to encourage your child to choose items that have some sort of meaning rather than just a collection of toys. Your child should be able to tell what each item represents. If you child chooses to participate with this activity, I will send home the “birthday bag”the day before your child’s birthday.
Favorite Book
A parent, grandparent, or a special family friend may read to the class. I always encourage the parents to bring in a favorite book that they like to read or that is their child's favorite.
Birthday Invitation
We do not allow children to pass out invitations at school. This is so we don't have any hurt feelings. School directories will be sent home in the near future.
Of course we will still sing Happy Birthday!
Please let me know if you have any additional questions about your child’s exciting day!
