Healthy+snack+and+lunch

Each week a family is in charge of bringing the snack for the children to enjoy early in the morning. The purpose of this program is to give them a healthy snack for them to eat and be able to hold on until lunch time. Some of the children come to school without having breakfast, so this helps them be able to work without feeling too hungry. Each snack has to have a protein, carbohydrate and a fruit/vegetable. Everything has to be sugar free, and it is cold snack. Parents can choose 1 thing from each and create the snack for the day. Some of the recommendations are for example:

Panela Cheese Cream Cheese Plain milk Yogurt Jam Sausage
 * PROTEINS.**

Bagels Crackers Tortillas
 * CARBOHYDRATES.**

Bananas Watermelon Melon Strawberries Grapes Mango Kiwi Apples Pears Pineapple
 * FRUITS & VEGETABLES.**

Lettuce Celery Carrots Cucumber Jicama

This are only some examples for each food group. And a example of a snack is: Cream cheese, Bagels and grapes.

We encourage parents to also follow these guidelines when preparing your children's lunch. Try to avoid sugar products so that their school performance is at their best.
