Dear Families,
As a part of our efforts towards supporting healthy, ready-to-learn students, we encourage students to bring healthy snacks to school. Healthy snacks help students maintain energy throughout the day and help ensure they are ready to focus and learn. We want your kids to be the healthiest they can be!
Here are some healthy snack ideas to fuel your kids:� Turkey or Ham Roll-Ups: Sliced turkey or ham rolled up with cheese� Snack Kabobs: Veggie or fruit chunks and cheese cubes skewered onto
thin pretzel sticks� Cottage Cheese or Yogurt with Fruit and/or Granola: Try using fresh
grapes, frozen berries, or canned peaches or pineapple� Crackers with Nut Butter or Hummus� String Cheese� Veggies and Dip � Trail Mix: Whole grain cereal (e.g. Cheerios, Mini-Wheats, Wheat Chex)
mixed with dried fruit (e.g. raisins, cranberries, apricots) and nuts� Baked Tortilla Chips with Hummus or Salsa and Guacamole� Fresh Fruit: Apples, cherries, grapes, bananas, pears, oranges…fruit is
nature’s portable, ready-to-eat snack!
our efforts are supported by Let’s Go!, a program of The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center. Let’s Go! works where children and families live, learn, work, and play to help make the healthy choice the easy choice. Let’s Go! encourages families to adopt the 5-2-1-0 message:
