Then we’ll work in small groups and plan out some first steps you can take, like setting up a meeting to talk to your principal and food service staff.

We think all children should learn what it means to live a healthy life so we asked
our Snikiddy Fans to share with us how their classrooms are staying healthy. We had
a lot of great responses, so we thought we would share a few. Hopefully these are
ideas that can be implemented into your child’s classroom!
Talk about healthy choices. Have healthy snacks and lunches and do projects in the
classroom where the conversation is on healthy snacks and food. – Kim
My child’s classroom does not allow students to bring in cake, etc. for the birthday. Instead,
they get a card from the principal and a special certificate and pencil. Also, there are only
two parties per year‐ Halloween and Valentines and we usually try to include some healthy
items at these parties so they are not just sugar! – Chris
My child’s class does carrots and dressing, or celery and peanut butter for snacks. They also
do 100% juice drinks. No added sugars. – Valerie
During parties and events, parents are asked to send in a range of goodies, which include
lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Provided meals are well‐rounded every day and they take
the kids outside twice a day to run and play. Lots of exercise! ‐ Laura
We choose healthy alternatives to the kids favorite snacks and introduce new healthy
snacks to the point the kids look forward to snack times. They start asking for snack as
soon as they come in because they can’t wait to see what new and exciting things we have
for them! – Cheri
We do not allow sugar or gluten in my child’s classroom for snack. The children snack on
rice crackers and fruit. – Julie
My child’s school sends out a monthly newsletter on tips for healthy snacks and activities
both outdoors and indoors. The menu is also geared toward just healthy and organic.
– Catia
They recently had a green party where they learned all about the importance of the
environment and being green. They also learned about organic foods and the importance
of eating healthy and exercising to stay healthy. They encourage physical activity and
creativity, which are two of the ways to stay healthy…keep your body and mind stimulated
no matter what your age! ‐ Melanie
