Halloween Treats Recommended by the

Nutrition & Wellness Committee

We’ve come up with some great healthy ideas for classroom parties that won’t break the bank and are eco-conscious too.  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. Kids will love it if it’s FUN!

PARTY FOOD

· For drinks—WATER!!!  Yes– good old water.  What an excellent thing … to hydrate before a night of cavorting on candy!

· Popcorn

· Fresh fruit (orange fruit—cantaloupe or oranges)

· Fresh Veggies (orange in color —carrots)

· Apples dipped in vanilla yogurt

· Homemade pumpkin or apple bread or muffins (great seasonal item)

· Veggie chips or Taro /Yam chips

(festive colors)

· Please remember that we are a

     Peanut Alert School!  All treats

     brought in for distribution must be

     Peanut Free!

 

·  

 

 

ECO-FRIENDLY NON-FOOD ITEMS

· Spooky Bandaids

· Stickers

· Tatoos

· Sticky Notes (orange)

· Halloween pad of paper

 

Remember that the kids will all be soooo excited to be together in their costumes, the party is just  a super fun extra!

Think -

Does this snack or favor generate waste?

THINK—Does it have

nutritional value besides being festive?

Be a real GREEN goblin!  Reduce the Waste
