Happy Birthday's Reminder

Dear Parents,
Fall is a very fruitful season in every term. In fall, there are more Happy Birthdays Parties than any other season.For your information there is a a reminder about class and school policy about Birthday Parties.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES IN PRE-K CLASS
Please be aware that we will schedule your child’s Hebrew BIRTHDAY PARTY in the class.  Our class friends will bake a delicious birthday cake for your child in school, so please do not send a cake from home.  Please send in a small bag with a Tzedakah coin for each friend in our class, as we will be giving Tzedakah in honor of your child’s birthday.
Feel free to visit our “Class Wish List” (http://www.mazeldayschool.com/Templates/Hebrewschool/article_cdo/aid/969989/jewish/PreK-Wish-List.htm) with age-appropriate games and books that you can purchase as a gift for our classroom in honor of your child’s birthday.  Such a gift is meaningful and will be savored by your child (and friends) for a long time to come!  Even thought our Pre-K Wish List is updated regularly, we would like you to confirm with us if a gift was not given to us before.

You know that this day is a special for your child. We would be more than happy to see all your family joining us in celebration. Everyone is invited! Please let us know in advance whether or not you will be coming.


BIRTHDAY PARTIES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL

If you will be organizing a birthday party on the weekends either at home or at a party center, please note that invitations to a party outside of school may be distributed in school only if:

1) All the children in the class will be invited to the party (or all of the girls or all of the boys).  
2) The party is not planned to take place on Shabbos or Jewish holiday so that children whose families are Shabbos observant and who do not live within a walking distance from where the party will take place will be able to attend. This includes Friday night and Saturday afternoon until the time that Shabbos ends.  (The time is listed on any Jewish calendar.)
3) Kosher food will be provided at the party.  As a private affair, each parent can choose what type of food they would like to serve at their child’s party (whether Kosher, non-Kosher, Chalav Yisrael dairy products, Pas Yisrael baked products, etc.).  However, we ask that all school parents invited should please be informed as to what food is Kosher/non-Kosher at the party, as well as who provides the Kosher certification on the product.  This includes pizza, drinks, cake, snacks, etc.  This way, the parent of each child attending the party can make a decision about what foods their child may eat depending on their level of Kosher observance.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at morahinna@gmail.com
Thank you and may we share many happy occasions together.
