HEALTHY CELEBRATIONS AND SNACKS AT EMERALD ELEMENTARY
Emerald Elementary will be incorporating new guidelines from
the district’s wellness policy and the USDA Smart Snacks program into our school
practice for celebrations, rewards, and snacks. Please join us as we undertake this
journey to try out new ideas for having fun, celebrating special times, and rewarding
student success in healthier and more active ways!
Birthdays
At Emerald, we are no longer celebrating birthdays with food or snacks (In
accordance with EPS’s wellness policy and USDA Smart Snacks program).
Please check with your child’s teacher to learn their classroom plan for birthday
celebrations.
Planned Classroom Celebrations
Your child’s teacher will have planned celebrations throughout the year. They will
communicate when these celebrations will occur and what healthy snacks you can send
to share with the class.
Classroom Rewards
We will continue to celebrate the success of our students with classroom rewards.
Moving forward we will be focusing on utilizing rewards that fit within our healthier
guidelines and avoiding sugary treats like candy as part of our reward systems.
Rewards may still include fun things like certificates, games, special events, and small
prizes.
