Ice Cream Fridays
Students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade have the opportunity to purchase ice cream on Fridays as an incentive for a variety of reasons. Each classroom has expectations in order for students to be able to have ice cream. Each item is $1.00. Students MUST turn in their money on Friday mornings. It cannot be turned in later in the day as we work to ensure enough inventory early in the day. Families have the opportunity to send in $20 at a time to ensure their student has the ability to get ice cream each Friday (pending class expectations). It is recommended that money be placed in an envelope or plastic baggie with the student's name on it.
In the event your family would like to sponsor a classroom for a week, you are welcome to do so, some ideas might be:
- birthday week
- great weather
- thought they could use a little encouragement
- everyone needs a treat once in awhile
- etc.
Most classrooms have 20-25 students. Each classroom has 2 adults (they like treats too). :)
There is a dairy-free option always!
