Fresh fruit and vegetables are highly encouraged as a classroom snack. Other acceptable items include: beef/turkey jerky, yogurt covered raisins, cheese, sunflower kernels & raisins, figs, and edamame.
Please do not send Gogurt, applesauce in a cup, or fruit in cups with juice. These items tend to make messes and are hard to clean up in the classroom.
I would encourage all students to bring a water bottle daily. Please ensure that the water bottle can be easily closed (preferably not a screw on lid as these can easily spill).
Due to severe school wide allergies, we are a Nut Free Campus, please do not send any nut products with your child’s lunch (trail mix, PB & J sandwiches, PB & J Ritz crackers, etc.) For substitution ideas, please click on the Nut Policy below.
