Just wondering how many of you have schools that allow treats like cupcakes, etc. to be brought in for birthdays at school.
It is an issue for me because we have SO many children with food allergies, and often these children are left out of getting the specific treat brought in. The food allergy parent or I generally provide an alternative "safe" treat. I have tried to inform parents of the need to send in only safe food, but most don't pay attention.
My principal won't budge on this issue. He just wants to allow it.
My question is, how do you handle this at your school? Do you allow birthday celebrations with food?
The other issue I have is we have disadvantaged students who can't afford to bring in treats may feel left out.
