Research shows that eating healthy snacks throughout the
day helps children to maintain constant blood sugar levels, helping them to
concentrate better and avoid mid-afternoon slumps. The following is a list of
snacks that may be eaten in homeroom class. Each student will be allowed one
sandwich-sized Ziploc bag of snacks per day. It is also recommended that
every student have a water bottle at his/her desk each day.
