Snacks

The third grade team has over 3 hours of school until lunch! This gives us a nice, long morning… but it also means that our students need a mid-morning snack to keep them learning and participating at their best. We ask that you please send a nutritious snack with your child each day.

Please do not feel that you must choose something from the list below. However, we ask that you please do not send chips or deserts for snack. Here are some popular snack choices that we have seen over the years: Dairy Group Pudding Yogurt Cheese cubes Cottage cheese Crackers and cheese Fruit/Vegetable Group Apple wedges Banana Carrots Cherry tomatoes Celery Cheese Cucumber slices Grapes Melon slices Orange wedges Dried fruit Strawberries Fruit juice

Proteins Group Sunflower seeds Slices of meat Mini sandwiches Hard-boiled eggs Carbohydrate Group Dry cereal Graham crackers Rice cakes Whole grain crackers Whole grain bagels/muffins Bagel chips Pita chips Bread sticks Pretzels Oatmeal cookies
