Happy New Year! Adults are probably feeling the need to re-establish healthier eating habits following holiday indulgences. Children, too, have enjoyed many seasonal treats, and so we are looking forward to fueling their bodies with wholesome foods this upcoming week at school!
Guess what? While we, as a staff, are welcome to eat snacks and lunch with the school children, we often fail to provide breakfast, extra lunch, or additional snacks for ourselves. As a staff, we have identified this as something that needs work, so each week this year you’ll get a glimpse of things that are available for us to munch on during the work day.
