Healthy Snacks

Please follow the school's nutrition policy listed below and only send in healthy food for snack:

J. Allen Axson Montessori promotes healthy eating habits, which we view as critical to a child’s physical and mental development.  We encourage you to pack only wholesome foods for snack or lunch.  We will not serve your child candy, cookies, cake, sodas or other sugary snacks.

 A child’s disposition can be affected positively and negatively by what we feed them and affect their ability to focus and learn.  As parents and educators, we promise to encourage our children that wholesome food is both delicious and good for them.  There’s a reason that the adage, “we are what we eat,” has lasted as long as it has!

Please help us keep J. Allen Axson a healthy environment for our children by providing your child with healthy lunches and snacks.  We have provided a list of suggestions that we hope are helpful.  (See below for more suggestions and resources.)

 

For more information about the school lunch menu, or for a free and reduced lunch application, please visit the District's Food Service Site http://www.duvalschools.org/Domain/4422

*Drinks (children are welcome to bring their own water bottles or drink from the water fountain, but we do not serve drinks with snack to avoid spilling it on our work) 

*Foods with little nutritional value (like potato chips)

*Salsa (we reuse and wash our plates everyday and the salsa is especially messy to clean up)
