ALLERGY WARNING: This year we have a student who is severely allergic to peanuts and all nuts. Please be considerate when planning snack: NO PEANUT BUTTER,
PEANUTS OR ANY OTHER NUTS. Thanks so much!
**********************************************************
Please send snacks for 10 children, divided and prepared in individual portions. Fore example, fruit or cheese should be cut into small pieces, placed in a zip lock bag or other disposable container.
Small, simple snacks work well. One item is usually not enough to fill up a growing preschooler. Usually 2-3 items and a juice drink are best. Something sweet and salty is always a good combination. There is a list of snack ideas at the end of this page.
CUPCAKES ARE FORBIDDEN except for birthdays.
Please bring juice, milk, chocolate milk, or water to drink Usually 1-2 quarts is plenty. I have small cups, if you would like to send a disposable container. Drink boxes and small waters work well.
SNACK IDEAS
Remember to keep it simple and bring something that is a favorite of your child! These are just a few ideas:
- string cheese, mini-box of raisins, graham crackers
- ½ sandwich, chips, fruit snack
- Pretzels or crackers, cheese cubes, fruit
- Popcorn, apple slices, cookie
- Muffin, small bunch of grapes
