In my school, birthdays were celebrated from Mondays to Fridays. If a child’s birthday falls on a Monday, the parents had to inform the school of the items and the time they will deliver. Teachers were also informed by the administration. The celebration is done normally at break or closing. Although it was not done during instructional hours, indirectly it was chipping away the educational ambience. A policy was rolled out to have birthdays celebrated only on Fridays after second break.
