Cape Horn-Skye Principal, Penny Andrews

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Birthdays are very special and exciting days for all of us. It is a time to celebrate “us” with friends and family. As a school, we want to continue recognizing our students’ special day while being sensitive to encouraging healthy eating habits, optimal learning environments, student health concerns and parental agency.

With that said, beginning this September, we will be moving away from edible treats for birthdays and replacing them with non-food celebrations. Please know that we are not trying to take the fun out of birthdays. Classroom teachers will continue to recognize children on their special day in special ways.

Other holiday and curriculum-based food experiences will continue to be managed by the classroom teachers. Thank you in advance for your flexibility and for caring about the health of our students.

Sincerely,

Penny Andrews
Principal
Cape Horn-Skye Elementary
