Birthday celebration in sch

For school celebrations here, most mums I know keep it simple, a small cake or cupcakes, some goodie bags with biscuits or light snacks, and maybe a little stationery item tucked in. Someone in my mum group mentioned it's really worth checking with the teacher first, because some schools have guidelines around no sweet treats or even no gifts, so you don't want to prepare something elaborate and then have to scale it back. Halal-friendly snacks are a good default if your child's class is mixed, since it covers everyone without you having to overthink it. Some parents also do a little thank-you card made together with the child, which is a sweet touch without adding much cost or effort, though honestly, a simple birthday song and a small treat is already enough to make the child feel special at school.
