With all of the activities that are
taking place at
school, there is no doubt your
child’s appetites will increase.
Sending snacks to school with your child is a great idea but make sure
they have nutritional value.
Here are some healthy snack ideas:
·
Cut up fresh fruit (apples, oranges,
grapes, etc.)
·
Fruit cups
·
Dried fruit
·
Carrot sticks
·
Celery sticks with peanut butter
·
Low fat granola bars
·
Small cereal boxes
·
Cheese (string, cubed, etc.)
·
Yogurt with a spoon or Gogurt
·
Trail Mix
Be sure to package snacks properly to
avoid any undue messes. Healthy Snacks fuel successful learning!

While a reminder of healthy snacks is wonderful, I am surprised that selected snack items listed in include nut items; with no mention of nut-free schools/classrooms/allergies.
Peanut butter, granola bars, and trail mix; many times cannot be brought as a classroom snack.
Great point, thank you! This is a monthly newsletter provided by Olmsted County Public Health. As noted, some of these snacks may contain nuts or traces thereof and therefore would be a great snack at home. When bringing snacks into the classroom Folwell Health Staff ask that all snacks are brought in the original packing, if possible, to help alert teachers of the ingredients.
