PLEASE SEND A DAILY SNACK AND WATER BOTTLE
For first-graders, sometimes it seems like such a long stretch between breakfast and lunch, which is at 12:40!! We allow the students to bring their own healthy snacks daily. We do stress the word “healthy.” This would include a piece of fruit, veggies, energy bars, granola bar, cheese/wheat crackers, etc. We are trying to stay away from processed food, fried foods, or high-sugar foods. We do have a scheduled snack break each day. Please, please, please send your child a snack daily. This snack gives them energy, ability to focus, and most importantly helps with hunger pangs. A helpful way to remember is by placing 5 snacks inside your child's backpack at the beginning of the week.
What's for lunch?

Birthdays
Birthdays are such an exciting thing to celebrate during the school year for each child. If your child has a summer birthday, we would love to celebrate them during the month of May.
If you wish to send treats, please send individually wrapped treats and napkins. Please refer to the district-approved candy and snack list that you can download below. Please respect this list so that ALL students will be able to enjoy the treats.
Pencils, stickers, and other small trinkets are acceptable as well.
Here are the class numbers as of our current schedule:
Mrs. Riffner currently has 20 students.
Ms. Shirkey currently has 21 students.
Ms. Skiles currently has 20 students.
