Homemade Treats “Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, to protect the health and safety of our students may bring pre-packaged treats to share with classmates in recognition of birthdays and other celebrations. Homemade treats will NOT be distributed to students. Due to allergies and other food intolerances, please consult with your classroom teacher before the pre-package treats are brought to school. As a healthier alternative, Park Hill Food Service offers a variety of nutritious treats that may be purchased and delivered to your child’s classroom.” –Elementary Parent Handbook
