Snack Guidelines

Thank you Parents for your combined efforts in providing a nourishing snack each day!

Things to remember:

  • Parents of each child in the class are asked to bring snacks for a week at least 2 times during the school year.
  • Please provide 22 bottles of water as beverage.
  • Food should also be enough for 22 servings.
  • Food should be prepared as ‘ready to be served’ for quick distribution  Food preparation should be done at home and sent to school in bulk or in individual servings.  For example:
      • In paper muffin cups
      • In plastic bags
      • Cut cheese in chunks
      • Spread peanut butter on crackers or bread
      • Cut fruits and bag them
  • Snacks should be nutritious and as low as sugar as possible.  Please no boxed raisins, they tend to be messy and get on the carpet.  Raisins are OK if part of a mix.  Some snack suggestions:
      • Breakfast bars
      • Cereal
      • Club, Fish, Ritz, or whole grain crackers
      • Fruit
      • Go-gurts
      • Mini-bagels or mini-muffins
      • Nuts
      • Popcorn
      • Pretzels
      • String Cheese
      • Vegetables

Thank you for your help and cooperation,
