Dear PS 101 Parents & Guardians: To ensure our students are eating right and have appropriate portions to gain energy and momentum during the course of the day, consider ways to purchase and prepare your child’s snack that are healthy first!
Children need snacks to keep their busy bodies and minds going. Healthy snacking can help kids get important nutrients and help provide necessary fuel for learning to keep their minds going. Healthy snacking can help our students to provide necessary fuel for learning, sports and other activities. Portion control is something to think about so we can ensure our children our eating small, well-balanced snacks between their meals.
Please pack snacks that are as nutritious as possible to insure quality student performance and endurance throughout the day. Think about smaller portions and healthier foods like: yogurt, fruits, vegetables, crackers, pretzels, etc. Try a balance of your child’s favorite foods/snacks with healthy snacks.
Thanks for your continued cooperation and support to educate our youngsters with healthy minds and bodies. Sincerely,Nutritous Snacks sent from home
