BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS AT KINCAID
Birthday treats can be pre-ordered through the café only by using this order link. Do not send in treats, balloons, or party invitations for select students. Use Membership Toolkit to contact other families about birthday parties
Parents can also have their child’s birthday displayed on the school marquee using this order link.
*******************************************************************
DO STORYTELLING ON THE GO
Take turns adding to a story the two of you make up while riding in a car or bus. Either one of you could start. Try making the story funny or spooky. This will stretch the imagination and foster a love for stories. It’s fun, too! Go the extra mile and record them as an auditory file to save for the future or jot them down in a book.
