BIRTHDAYS
Birthdays are special days in a child’s life. The EKA will happily share this day with your child. Guidelines are listed below:
1. No birthday party invitations, presents, or party favors may be exchanged at school unless every child in the class is included (or every boy / every girl). When mailing invitations to birthday parties, please be sensitive to children’s feelings. Do not exclude one or two children from the class.
2. Parents may arrange a simple treat for their child’s class. Please consult with your child’s teacher for appropriate times and a prepackaged kosher pareve snack with an acceptable kosher symbol should be sent.
3. Another meaningful way to recognize your child’s birthday is to buy a book or DVD for the library honoring your child. If you are interested in doing so, please contact the office for further information.
4. When you plan birthday parties for your child, please consider that a party planned during Shabbat or on a Jewish holiday will exclude those children who observe Shabbat with their families. Likewise, when developing the menu, please also consider those students who keep kosher.
