Birthday Celebrations / Special Occasions

Your child’s birthday is an important day. In keeping with the Montessori tradition, each child celebrating their birthday will participate in a circle activity known as ‘The Earth Goes Round the Sun’. This activity does not include food but is a special ritual which teaches the important lesson of passing of time from one year to the next.

As a means to educate our children in healthy eating habits and to reinforce our nut free policy the following items are not accepted at school for birthday celebrations, class parties or any special occasions (i.e., Halloween):

  • Birthday cake
  • Ice cream
  • Soda pop
  • Homemade snacks/baked goods

For birthday and special events (i.e., Halloween) loot bags, the following are permitted:

  • Individually wrapped, store-bought, nut-free labelled snacks
