TIPS FOR PACKING HEALTHY SNACKS FOR NUTRITION BREAKS

1. You may want to purchase reusable containers from the dollar store. You can label them #1 and #2 with permanent marker to help younger children choose what to eat at each nutrition break.
2. Sandwiches can be cut in half and wrapped separately - one half for each break.
3. Include healthy beverages - milk is available, if ordered, during the second break.
4. Freezing water bottles, juice and yogurt will help them last to the second break as well as keeping everything else in the lunch bag cold.
