Birthday Treats
While we recognize that every
child’s birthday is special, we would like to encourage parents to send in
non-food items for celebrating their child’s birthday at school. We have many
students at school with a variety of food allergies. It is challenging for
young students to clearly understand the severity of their allergies and
refrain from eating any food that may have had an allergen as an ingredient
within the food item or at the processing store.
For parents who choose to
bring a store-made food item to school, we encourage you to bring the LoftHouse
cookies or cupcakes that are sold at the Commissary and Wegmans as they are
made in a peanut-free facility. Upon arrival at school, the front Office
Staff will review the ingredient list of store-bought items as well as a class
list to ensure that there are not any allergy considerations. Thank you
for supporting the safety of all of our Dolphin students.

on the Run is a North American non-profit program that works to encourage
pre-teen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through dynamic,
interactive lessons and running games, culminating in a celebratory 5K run.
Girls in grades 3-6 are eligible to participate.
Registration will begin January 28-February 25th, 2019. The
Spring Session will start on March 4, 2019 and will culminate with the 5K
