	Cupcakes/Cake At School	September 6, 2016 - 2:11pm	We know that celebrations at school can be a ton of fun. While many students do bring a treat to share with their classmates on their birthday, for class parties, etc. we wanted to make sure you are aware that we are no longer allowing cupcakes or cake at Blackford. The frosting on these items stains our materials, such as textbooks and desks, as well as makes a mess throughout the school. There are many other options such as fruit, stickers, pencils, cookies, etc. to have your child bring to school if you chose to send them with something to celebrate a special occassion.
