Nutritious Snacks Only!

As part of our school nutrition program, we are asking parents to only send healthy snacks to school. Some suggestions are: fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy grains such as crackers, pretzels, or cereal, low-fat dairy foods such as yogurt or cheese, nuts, granola bars, and healthy beverages such as water or 100% fruit juice.
