          Healthy snack foods for your child:

Please remember this is a SMALL snack and not a meal. Snacks with high sugar content should be avoided as these are "empty" calories and will only satisfy your child’s hunger for a short period of time. Students will be eating their snack at their desk so snack food must not be messy or require excessive clean up.
