Spread the Love (and Safety!) This February 💌
Hi Madison Families!
As we get closer to February, there is definitely a buzz of excitement in the hallways! Whether we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day or Friendship Day, we love seeing our students share kindness and appreciation for one another. It’s one of our favorite times of the year!
To make sure that every student can join in the fun safely and comfortably, we want to share a quick reminder about our "Sweet-Free" celebration policy.
🛑 The "No Food" Policy
While we love a good cupcake as much as anyone, we do not allow any food or candy to be brought into the building for distribution. We have many students with various food allergies and dietary needs. By keeping treats non-edible, we ensure that no one feels left out and—most importantly—everyone stays safe. We’re all about inclusive celebrations where the focus is on the friendship, not the sugar!
🎨 Fun & Creative Alternatives
If your student wants to bring something special for their classmates, there are so many awesome ways to say "You're a great friend!" without the candy. Here are a few ideas that are always a huge hit:
Stationery Staples: Fun erasers, colorful pencils, or miniature notebooks.
Creative Gear: Individual sticker sheets, temporary tattoos, or small containers of play-dough.
Playful Trinkets: Glow sticks, bouncy balls, or plastic spider rings (hey, some kids like spooky valentines!).
Crafty Vibes: Friendship bracelet kits or bookmarks.
The Classics: A simple, handwritten note or a homemade card is often the most cherished gift of all!
