Stapleton Healthy Snacks

The "healthy celebrations" effort in Stapleton School is going really well thanks to all the parents and students planning ahead and making good choices. Sometimes people ask 'why' do we have to send healthy food for kids; that's no fun! But, in our current culture there is a tremendous rise in childhood illnesses related to poor food choices and a lack of exercise. 

Because of this, there are a number of resources out there to help us all understand that there are other options out there that can still be tasty and fun. The links below have some great information about healthy options for kids both at home and in school. Click to learn more:
