We are taking a food-free approach to birthday celebrations at IVE this school year! We have  found that our kids have plenty of sweet treats in their lives, and we have had an increase in  the number of food allergies in our community. 

School Birthday Celebration Rituals: 

∙ Name and birthday will be announced on Studio 83 

∙ An in-person morning visit by the student Birthday Crew to the birthday student’s  classroom to give a sticker and a pencil 

∙ Classroom privileges unique to each class, chosen by the birthday student 

Birthday invitations must be distributed outside of school to avoid hurting other students’ feelings.
