The Nutrition and Wellness Committee would really like to thank all of you parents for being so fabulous about your joint effort in keeping all of the Edna Kids healthy. This ranges from showing kindness to children with life threatening nut allergies by refraining from snack and lunch items with nuts (you've all been doing great!), addressing lice issues promptly and thouroughly, and keeping sick kids home from school, to reminding your kids to wash their hands well especially during cold and flu season! We look forward to providing you with more information relating to promoting a healthy environment for the children throughout the new year, but before the year is over, we would like to be sure you have some FABULOUS ideas for healthy snacks for class winter holiday parties (pdf). We hope these are helpful to you!
We've come up with some great healthy ideas for classroom parties or other Halloween festivities that won't break the bank AND are eco-conscious. We tried to take into account snacks that reflect the produce in season and that do not generate a ton of trash (wrappers, etc.). These are just SOME ideas. Use your own creativity. Kid's will love it if it's FUN!
