Birthdays in School

So.. second day back and already we have a parent that brought up birthdays...  I am not a fan.  I think in the present pandemic state it's not a great idea to permit any shared food from home so I was set to give a list of non-food ideas.  But then I thought better of it as I don't think I want the kids passing out stickers or erasers.  I thought about saying to send in a special book or have the parent come in to read, but this raises similar concerns.  Any ideas or thoughts from my virtual nurses' station?

    our district has a birthday package that can be purchased from the school. It's 20$ for individual treats for the class. you can add on a drink for 5$ more. It goes through the cafeteria. 

    there is a list of all the things that you can choose from. 

    my second graders teacher sent out that no bday treats could be brought in this year (home made wasn't allowed already) and that the birthday package could be purchased. I am in the high school setting so its not an issue at my school.

    my dude has a bday this Friday ? I almost missed the cut off to get a treat package ordered. they want you to order 2 weeks in advance. I am sure some items may need to be ordered in but we chose rice krispy treats to accommodate all the allergens in his classroom and they said they usually have plenty of those. 

    Its kind of hard to make his birthday special this year since we can't have a party like we usually do. I figure a rice krispy treat at school will help a little.

    I love the birthday package idea! I am going to reach out to our PTA about being the facilitators of a "birthday package." Thanks for the idea!!

    I have already spoken to our Cafeteria Manager.  He would love to get more details of how the program is set up.  Can we get more details or a way to speak with your Cafeteria Manage?
