Foods served for classroom parties, activities and celebrations
At ENSAT we recognize and appreciate that many cultures celebrate with food. Because of new state dietary regulations and concerns with food allergies, most public schools have eliminated this practice entirely. Our new school policy no longer permits the bringing in of food items for birthdays and celebrations during school. Any birthday celebration treats can be ordered from the ENSAT Kitchen. Please refer to our celebration policy document and order form on the food service section of our website.
- Unfortunately any celebration food brought in will have to be turned away.
- Non- food celebrations should be encouraged.
- Any food projects that are part of the curriculum should be exempt.
