Healthy Snacks Needed

We will be having a short, five minute snack break during the morning to help kids keep their energy levels up until our 12:50 p.m. lunch time. Please send healthy snacks to school on a daily basis for your child. Please do not send snacks with excess sugar and sweeteners or snacks containing large amounts of trans fats (http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2003/503_fats.html).

Appropriate snacks include but are not limited to: vegetables, fruits, some self contained snack bars, certain types of nuts, and certain types of crackers. Please do not send candy, cookies or other sugary sweets as these foods actually do more harm to kids' energy levels during the morning hours. Students will not be allowed to consume these snacks if they bring them.

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding snack time or any other matter: Jay.Monson@duluth.k12.mn.us or MacArthur Elementary School 628-4881.
