Class Parties & Birthday Celebrations

Birthday Celebrations

Starting in 2018-19, student birthdays at our school will be celebrated with non-food alternatives to support the district’s wellness policy.  

Why do we have nutrition standards?

  • Due to changes in Federal rules, school districts are required to provide standards for foods shared with other students.
  • Protecting students with food allergies and diabetes, supporting family decisions around foods, and reducing equity issues is also very important.

How were these decided?

  • District standards were developed based on community input and feedback.
  • Over 50% of schools already have a similar policy in place.  

Are there birthday ideas for families and classrooms?

·     Ideas (many from students) on fun ways to celebrate birthdays can be found here.
