Dear West Bourbon Elementary School Families,
As we prepare for our upcoming Valentine's Day festivities, I kindly remind you of our classroom food-sharing guidelines. To ensure the safety of all students, please bring only prepackaged items from a manufacturer or a commercially licensed kitchen. All food items must remain in their original, sealed packaging until they are ready to be served.
I would also like to request that parents refrain from sending Valentine's Day gifts that may cause distractions or extra work for our staff. Balloons, flowers, and bulky items can be challenging to transport and manage during school hours. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Warm regards,
Dustin Miller
Principal
