INDEX

It seems that many children have begun to bring in breakfast, lunch, and snack from home.  While this is perfectly acceptable, we must monitor what you are bringing in for your children to eat.  If you would like to bring in the above for your child, it must be of a healthy nature. 

Some examples of healthy breakfast are:

Cut up fruit

Yogurt

Cereal Bar

Toast, English Muffin, or Bagel

If you are bringing in a lunch, please make sure that it is healthy as well.  It should include a protein, a carbohydrate, a fruit, and a vegetable.  This will make up a balanced lunch.

Some examples of a healthy snack are:

Fruit

Vegetables

Cheese Sticks or cheese and crackers

Please think wisely for your child and begin to set good food habits at this young age. 

We thank you in advance for your cooperation and hope that we can build good eating habits for your children.
