SNACKS AND LUNCH:
Parents are to bring the child's lunch and water bottle each day.
​
A snack will be served mid-morning and mid-afternoon. We will serve fruit, vegetables, whole grains, cheese, various proteins, and water. Water will be encouraged, and refills are provided throughout the day. The morning snack is light, and the afternoon snack is heartier to help keep them going until dinner. Please advise us if the occasional popsicle on a hot day or hot chocolate on a cold day is a problem:)

Here is an example of a weekly snack menu that we will be posted on our info board.
