Lunches:

Each child needs to bring his/her own lunch. Lunches need to be labeled with the child’s name and put in the “lunch” refrigerator. Some rooms have their own refrigerators. Hot items may be labeled as such. If there are items to be put in the microwave, be sure that they are in containers that can be put in the microwave. Wash lunch boxes out daily. Please peel oranges and eggs and prepare other items that may be difficult for a child. Remember… it’s a long day so send a nutritious lunch and snack.

The following foods are not allowed in lunches or snacks for children up to 6 years of age because they can cause choking: Hard candy, popcorn, nuts, marshmallows and corn nuts. Please slice carrots, hot dogs, grapes and string cheese lengthwise for children up to 6 years of age. Grapes must be cut in quarters. Do not send soda pop in lunches. Hard candy is not allowed for kids of any age. Do not put any medicines in sippy cups and/or lunch boxes.
