[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD3 will be starting at our neighborhood school and I have heard that parents bring in snacks items for the class.  Can anyone tell me the guidelines on this and some good things to bring?  We mainly shop at Harris Teeter and Costco.  It's a Title I so I will probably try to send extra of the items are shelf stable.  TIA![/quote]

At YY, parents are assigned a week for the class snack, it works on rotation.  They're also given a list of appropriate items (for example: chunks of melon, craisins, and veggie-booty are good).  You buy enough snack for the class, and drop off a couple times during the week.

It's actually a huge relief: one week of snack-planning and then you're done for a few months.  My child was always really excited about her week, we would carefully pick out the items and talk about their nutritional value.  The shelf-stable items are pretty easy: pretzels, veggie chips, pirate booty, etc.  Dried fruits are also good: raisins, craisins, dried apricots, etc.  Then you want fresh items, but those you'll probably want to drop off more than once during "your" week: baby carrots, clementines, grapes, cut-up melon or oranges.

Bottom line: avoid nuts, avoid fried and sugary snacks, and plan a second trip to make sure you have fresh choices. [/quote]

:roll:    OP is at a Title I, and wants to do drive-by parenting.  A selection of cut fruit mixed with dried is not going to meet her needs.

BTW, there is a baked version of Cheetos.  ;)[/quote]

This is OP.  What on earth is drive-by parenting?  It is a Title I so I would like to provide a healthy and enjoyable snack with extra to cover additional days if needed, in case some parents don't bring anything on their days.  [/quote]
