Lunch and Snacks

Snack
Students are welcome to bring a fresh fruit or vegetable snack to school for the morning and/or afternoon. I recommend peeling or cutting hard-to-eat foods. Please pack the snack separate from your child's lunch, as lunches go down to the lunchroom first thing in the morning. Water bottles are also welcome.
Lunch
Kindergarten did very well today eating their lunches! The hot lunch menu can be viewed on the district website. Please let your child know if you have a milk account or not so they know if they should or should not be getting milk each day. Please check to make sure your child likes what is being served, either for hot lunch or in a packed lunch. The lunch staff encourages children to eat all, or almost all, of the food in their lunch. Consider planning your child's lunch with your child so he or she has the right amount of food, as well as a variety of nutrition. Throughout the year, the lunch staff generally tells kindergarteners to sit at their tables for 20 min. We encourage them not to rush through their food, but to eat at a healthy pace. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
