Fun Pizza Fridays
Thisis an ongoing fundraiser for the Learning Academy. Pizza will be ordered each Friday for $3.00 per child. Money collects which exceeds the actual cost of the pizza will be used for projects and supplies for the school.
Packed Lunches and Snacks
It is the parents/guardians responsibility to send lunches and snacks in a lunch box that will not be refrigerated. Please send food that your child normally eats at home. We are unable, due to the number of student, to heat lunches in the microwave. The state requires that each child be served nutritious meals and snacks every two (2) hours. Please refer to the USDA Food Plan below when preparing your child’s lunch and snack(s):
NOTE : Due to the risk of choking, children under the age of three should not have grapes, hotdogs, popcorn or pretzels.

Birthdays
Birthdays will be celebrated on the last Friday of each month. If you wish to bring a special snack (cake, cookies, etc.) to celebrate your child’s birthday, please let your child’s teacher know at least a week before the last Friday of the month so that she may coordinate with all the parents whose children have birthdays in that month. Presents may not be exchanged on birthdays and snacks may. If you are planning a party for your child at home and plan to invite a few (but not all) of your child’s classmates, please do not deliver invitations at school. If all of the children are included, invitations may be passed out at school.
Note: Due to the risk of choking, please do not include latex balloons in goody bags.
