    Healthy Treats! 

     

    As a district we are working on transitioning to healthier snacks and birthday treats for the kiddos.  I am asking for your support in helping me promote healthy choices for the students.  “Health-friendlier” options that you may consider are listed below.  I encourage you to allow your child to be a part of the selection of the birthday treat from a range of healthy parent-led choices.  I am hoping the children will be very proud of themselves and their families when they bring in healthy treats for their classmates.
