Birthday Celebrations:
Due to COVID-19, we have new procedures for birthdays. We will celebrate outside, and it is limited to two guests. The treat needs to be individually wrapped. Since we have children with severe allergies in class, we would greatly appreciate it if the treats could be free of dairy, eggs, sesame seeds and garlic.
