Healthy Snacks and Birthday Surprises

 "Go Healthy, Go Green"

  St. Peter's has been moving towards a healthy lifestyle approach for our students. We have been fortunate enough to have Greenlife bring our children healthy food without the worry of harsh chemicals, dyes, and hormones.  I have chosen to be a part of this school wide movement, and I am so excited about the progress we have made. I am also pleased to see the garden in action and the kids excited about being a part of it. St. Peter's is doing a great job of teaching our students the importance of healthy choices and getting outside to enjoy the world around them.  

  In the third grade, we work with the students to learn that healthy choices can be fun choices. We are going to work together to create a fun recipe book that contains healthy snack and birthday treat recipes. We hope that you can use this recipe book with your child when making a birthday treat for the class. Please feel free to use other cookbooks and Internet resources for healthy alternatives if you would like.

  We look forward to sharing creative healthy alternatives instead of cookies, cupcakes, cake, and doughnuts for holidays and birthdays. 

  Please send snacks that are low in sugar as well. Sugar causes the students to have a mid morning crash, and they will need all their energy for our journey into the world of discovery!

* Good Snack Ideas: crackers, pretzles, fruit, vegetables and dip, muffins, granola bars, nuts (no allergies this year), trail mix...
