2024-2025 District 145 Birthday/Party Treat List
District 145 strives to exceed the federal/state nutritional standards as well as uphold our own student school wellness policy. Our schools are a safe, equitable place for all students, including those with medical diagnoses and/or food allergies, therefore it is our duty to protect all students by providing them with safe treats. These guidelines will be followed in all classrooms in all buildings across the district. Students will never be charged for treats brought in for birthdays or celebrations. Please understand that we will not serve any items that are not on the approved list and you will be called to come pick up the items. Please call your student’s specific school if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding!
