Red Plate Project

The Red Plate Project is something new that we are trying at Sonshine Kids.  Upon enrolling, each child will receive a red plate and this note:

It was a time honored tradition among early American families that when someone deserved special praise or attention they were served dinner on the red plate. The Red Plate is the perfect way to acknowledge your child’s special triumphs...celebrate a birthday...praise a job well done...reward a goal achieved...or simply say "You Are Special Today."

I would like to use the Red Plate to acknowledge special achievements in our classroom. When something special happens for your child at school, they will come home wearing a Red Plate sticker to let you know they’ve had a “Red Plate Day”. Please celebrate this special event by letting them eat on the Red Plate that evening.
