School Birthday guidelines / Potluck lunches

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone...

As the new school year kicks off, our nutrition committee is trying to set up

guidelines for birthday celebrations (so there aren't cupcakes brought to school

every week) by possibly having monthly " potluck class lunches " as a celebration

of birthdays for that month. Do any of you have written guidelines and/or a

sign-up sheet that your school uses for such things? We would like to get the

celebration to include healthy food/meal items with only one or two dessert

items for the class to share. Any input greatly appreciated!
