Perdew Elementary School has implemented a “no food items” approach to celebrating birthdays within the school day. Teachers will acknowledge birthdays in a special way such as a birthday crown, singing happy birthday, allowing a child to share a special book with the class, etc.

You are more than welcome to bring in non-food birthday celebrations items that can easily be distributed at the end of class.

Reasons for this change include health concerns and loss of instructional time. Many of our students have health concerns related to food, including allergies, obesity, diabetes, and sensitivities to dyes.

Thank you for supporting us in our efforts to keep students healthy and maximize learning time at school.

Families can access lost & found items, before and after school, through the front gate area between the Office and MPR.
