Healthy Snacks
Kettering students practice healthy habits. It is imperative that Kettering students to come to school with a full stomach from an at home breakfast or come to school to enjoy a free breakfast (served 7:30 am - 8:00 am). Either way, all students need to have a nutritious start their day.
During recess we once again encourage students to enjoy a snack as brain food. Please remember when sending a healthy snack each day, ensure it is first and foremost healthy. Healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, natural proteins (meats, eggs, cheeses, edamame...), dehydrated veggie chips, granola bars or cereal bars, yogurt, applesauce... is encouraged. Always read the label before sending a packaged snack with your child.
We appreciate your help in sending in a healthy snack each day!
Additionally, for these same reasons birthday treats for the classroom will not be accepted.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
To a happy and healthy year!
