"Dear Parents, please use good judgement when sending birthday treats to school. Cupcakes seem to be the most popular choice, but they are not the healthiest treat for our students. Please consider bringing in a healthy treat or using a non-food item to celebrate your child's birthday at school. This guideline also applies to other celebrations in the classroom.
"Also, please do not use food items for estimation jars or the like. Colorful erasers, rubber bands or paper clips are very inexpensive and don't contain sugar. Celebrating with food is the easiest way to go, but it's not always the best for the health of our students."
The principal also urges parents to pack lunches using reusable containers and refillable water bottles, noting that many plastic bags and bottles were found thrown away during the school's "Waste Audit."
