In order to promote healthy choices, support a culture of wellness in our schools, and our concern for children with food allergies, diabetes, and other dietary restrictions, Big Walnut will no longer allow treats in the form of food items in grades PK-6. If you would like the classroom teacher to acknowledge your child’s birthday or special day, we ask that you choose an alternative way to celebrate. Some suggestions include; volunteer to be a guest reader in your child’s classroom, donate a book to the class library and dedicate it to your child, or send in non-edible items such as pencils or bookmarks.
Thank you for your understanding.
