Snack and/ or Baptismal Day Treats

Due to health concerns, especially Hepatitis A, and our goal of participating in a healthy life-style, we strongly recommend that all treats sent to school be commercial-prepared, individually wrapped, low in sugar and low in caffeine. If you choose to send in treats to celebrate your child's baptismal day (please do not feel obligated to do so), please make sure that you send enough for each person in the homeroom. Students will not e going to other homerooms to pass out treats. Teachers reserve the right to schedule treat distribution, and, in instances when treat recommendations have not been followed, e.g., high-caffeine or high sugar content, either to distribute them at the end of the day or not to distribute them. Preservation of the learning environment is the primary consideration.

Examples of snacks meeting nutrition guidelines are: pretzels, graham crackers, low fat crackers, bottled water (middle school), Goldfish, popcorn, low fat Cheez-Its/ Cheese Nips, raisins, dried fruit, low-sugar cereals, fresh fruit/ vegetables, applesauce, granola bars, cereal bars, Chex Mix, yogurt, fruit cups. Examples of non-food items include: books donated to class libraries, pencils (or pens in middle school), stickers, eraser, key chains, book marks, notepads, and stamps.
