Crunchy celery

I couldn’t figure out what that pink stuff in a bag was until you mentioned strawberry milk. Gross.
The strawberry milk is very gross….it has that artificial/mediciny strawberry smell! I heard it is super sweet…yuk!
The strawberry milk is now gone! Woohoo!!
I vote bring lunch from home!
I agree!!
I would except when you see what the kids bring from home. When I worked k-3 I saw things like a pack of saltines with a bottle of pepsi and cupcakes. Ive seen Lunch boxes with the
Previous days food forgotten inside, and seen bags of chips. We have to do better with what we serve,but I think maybe we need to better educate what Is proper to bring in a lunch. we want to fuel these kids with the good stuff. More and more can’t afford nutritious foods. It is a very hard situation.
Hi Linda,
I agree! It all starts at home! I know it is difficult sometimes to make ends meet, but large bags of chips and bags of cookies are just not good choices. Fresh fruit and a sandwich would do just fine. I see a lot of “sports” drinks as well….not a good choice for sedentary kids! We are trying to educate the kids in the classroom about nutrition, and parents need to be informed as well!
