Snack Time

FYI
When we track back in, we will begin having our snack time each morning at 10:45. We will only have 5 to 10 minutes each morning for snack, so please encourage your child to bring something from home that he or she can eat/drink within the time allotted. Thank you.

Please note: while we will no longer have an asigned afternoon snack time, your child is welcome to eat a small snack during our recess time (2:30-3:00) if he/she chooses to do so.

Thank you and I hope you all are having a wonderful track out!
