Birthday Celebrations

The Governor Mifflin School District recognizes that student wellness and proper nutrition are related to students’ physical well-being, growth, development and readiness to learn. 

Classroom teachers make every effort to make each child’s birthday feel special and important. Parents and students may not distribute any invitations to private or personal parties at school. The delivery of food, balloons, gifts, flowers, etc, is not permitted to students during the school day.   Individual classrooms may recognize this special day within their own setting and without food or individual treats from home. Treats brought in for birthdays and unannounced celebrations will not be distributed and sent home.

However, you are always welcome to make a contribution on behalf of your child’s special day by contributing toward a class and/or school need (such as a book for the class or school library).
