If you wish to bring a treat for the class for your child's birthday, please make sure to contact me a day or so in advance. We can arrange a five minute time period during recess, lunch, or before dismissal to sing Happy Birthday and share a treat.
Here are some suggestions:(Please make sure all items are sent to school individually wrapped so they are easy to pass out)
- Raw vegetable sticks or slices with low fat dressing or yogurt dip
- Fresh fruit wedges: watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, oranges, etc.
- Fruit and Cheese Kabobs: Skewers with grapes, strawberries and cheese wedges
- Sliced fruit: apples, pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, etc.
- Dried fruits/Trail mix: nuts, raisins, cranberries, apples, apricots
- Pretzels
- Fruit Cone: Serve cut fruit, melon balls or whole berries and grapes in ice cream cones
- Apple slices tossed in cinnamon
- Popcorn
- Popcorn tossed w/ cinnamon
- Pita Bread and Hummus
- Natural fruit leathers
- Yogurt “Sundaes” – dollop Greek yogurt into plastic cups, sweetens w/honey & top w/nut-free granola & chopped fruit
- Unsweetened applesauce cups
- Strawberries, tangerines, grapes, cold pineapple spears
- Baked Tortilla chips with or without dips (hummus, salsa)
- 100% fruit juice popsicles
- Bagels topped w/cream cheese (mix chopped fruit into cream cheese for sweeter treat)
Treats do not necessarily need to be food:
- Small bottles of bubbles
- Books donated to the classroom in the student's name
- Personalized pencils
- School supplies
Thank you for supporting our efforts as we educate our students and model healthier habits.
