Please remember, a snack is not a meal. Take a look at
not only the portion size, but also the number of portions. Many children are coming
to school with three and four snacks. A drink, preferably water, and one
single portion snack is appropriate. Also take note of the fat, sugar and sodium
content. Avoid donuts, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, corn or potato chips and high
sugar drinks. They do not give our bodies what we need to grow and do our best in
school.
*May be limited in classrooms with students with peanut/
tree nut allergies
