Healthy Snacks
The Elizabeth Ann Clune Montessori School of Ithaca dedicates itself to educating our children, staff and families in making healthy, sound nutritional food choices during the school day. We encourage using whole grain products, and making low sugar and low fat choices for lunches, snacks and treats to share. Full Day Primary, Extended Day, Junior Level, Upper Level, and Middle School children must bring a lunch, including beverage, in a lunch container. Please include any necessary utensils. In order to promote recycling, children will be required to carry back home all their remains from lunch in their lunch boxes. We encourage parents to pack food in recyclable containers. Please try to include a high quality protein and a fresh fruit and veggie in each lunch. If you are looking for prepared lunches and snacks please scan the ingredients to be sure you don't find sugar or fructose and enriched bleached white flour as the first few ingredients. It is quite a surprise when you begin reading ingredient labels! What we consume really does impact the quality of the energy we bring to our work and it affects our emotional state as well. We appreciate your attention to this important matter.
