Snack Policy

Setting a Healthy Snack Policy

A "Healthy Snack Policy" sets guidelines for the types of foods and beverages parents and other caregivers can send to school for consumption during recess or snack time and at class parties or other special school events and celebrations.

Set a SuperKids Snack and Celebration Policy in your classroom.

At the beginning of the school year, tell your students about the policy, and be sure to have a handout your students can take home to their parents. Encourage your students to bring fruits and vegetables for snacks and classroom parties. The Fun with Fruits & Vegetables Kids' Cookbook contains recipes for foods that can be prepared for classroom parties. If healthful eating is encouraged in your classroom, it will start to happen in other places.
