HEALTHY SNACKS LIST

March 2013

 The school created the Wellness Advisory Board with the goal of our children becoming happy, healthy and productive individuals.  With this goal in mind and to promote healthy eating for our students, the Wellness Advisory Board has developed a suggested healthy snack list.  These snacks would be suitable for party days.
