Healthy Snacks and Water Bottles

Posted by: ahossack | May 3, 2012 | No Comment |

Every day in first grade we make time in class for a snack and story.  We ask that your first grader brings healthy snacks to school to help fuel their bodies and minds for a day of fun and learning.  It is getting warmer and having a drink bottle at school is becoming even more important.

Proper nutrition and hydration helps your child stay focused and energized at school.

Please send healthy snacks to school each day.

Please be sure a refillable water bottle is at school.
