Our morning snack break is an opportunity to fit extra nutrients into your students diet. Snacks should consist of nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grain and seeds. This helps to keep the blood sugars even and the tears at bay. A healthy snack has about 100 calories in it and has about 7 grams of sugar. Consider anything that comes in its own wrapper - apples, oranges, grapes, bananas, cucumber or carrots. All those pretty pre-package foods are a trap. Beware!! As part of our health unit we have started to talk about super foods for our bodies. Foods that power our brains! In essence please keep the Halloween candy at home for an occasional snack.
Pillars of Care tomorrow at 8:15. Congratulations to Ally, Logan, Tamika and Cayleigh this months award winners as voted by their peers.
