At Beye School, we advocate healthy lifestyle choices to our children. Birthday treats/celebrations should happen typically at the end of the school day, approximately 15-20 minutes before the bell rings. Please let me know with and email or note that your child will be passing out a treat before it happens, so that I can plan my lessons and day for such. Some alternatives to the cupcake are: play a game with the class, a quick craft activity, pass out a pencil/eraser/small toy, read your child's favorite story to the class, etc.
Some healthier treats to pass out might be fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, a yogurt sundae bar, popcorn, chips and guacamole, etc.
