Snack Policies & Ideas
We offer a snack time daily for the children. We ask that parents send in a snack for the whole class several times throughout the year. Please sign up on the calendars, posted at the front of each classroom, at least 6 or 7 times throughout the school year. MAKE THE SNACK NUTRITIOUS RATHER THAN SWEET. There is a list of suggestions posted below.
We have a number of children with food allergies, and therefore require a list of ingredients with home baked goods. Foods containing peanuts, peanut butter or peanut oil cannot be served at the school because of severe allergic reactions. Please do not send cupcakes with icing or cakes that require plates and forks . This is time consuming and very messy.
Suggestions for snack:
- Fresh fruit/ dried fruit
- Vegetables and dip
- Cheese and crackers
- Teddy grahams/ goldfish crackers
- Small sandwiches
- Oatmeal/ Chocolate chip cookies
- Small pita pockets/ small bagels and cream cheese
- Pretzels
- Seasonal treats (e.g. Christmas cookies, Easter eggs)
- Fruit juices
- Pickles
