Snack Schedule and Information

Dear Parents,

Starting next week I am asking the parents to take turns bringing in the snack for the whole class. I will set up the snack schedule, distribute copies to you, and post it at the classroom entrance as well. Please make sure to bring enough snacks for 20 children. A two-month calendar will be sent home every other month indicating your day to provide snack. This will coincide with your child’s special day in that they are the class leader, present Show and Tell, take the attendance to the office and do other special tasks.

Your child’s special day will also correspond with his/her birthday. On his/her birthday your child can bring in a special individual snack such as cupcakes or cookies to celebrate. Please refrain from bringing in cakes as they are difficult to cut and serve it to the entire class.

Please do not bring in any snacks containing nuts as nut allergies can be very severe or even fatal. All baked goods or special treats must be commercially purchased and be labelled nut-free.

The days of the week are designated to specific snack foods to provide a healthy variety of food.

Monday: washed and cut vegetables with or without dip-carrots, celery sticks, green/red peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower etc.

Tuesday: crackers with cheese, cheese whiz, spreadable cream cheese

Wednesday: washed and cut fruit-apples, oranges, pears, bananas, grapes, strawberries etc.

Thursday: your choice of a healthy snack

Friday: cookies, muffins, rice krispy squares etc.
(must be commercially produced and labelled nut-free)

Thank you for your continued support.
