[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because apparently I have too much time on my hands, I went and checked the snack menu for Beauvoir:

and GDS

Since those are the two Big 3 schools where the Kindergarten is in DC, as OP said.

I like that both offer fruit for snack.  I also think that offering something junky, a few days a week, not twice a day as OP stated, is fine, because we know the research says that making something forbidden can make it higher value.   So I'm fine with the Beauvoir menu.  The GDS menu, on the other hand has the following in one week:

Cheezits twice
Goldfish twice
Potato chips
Oreos

That seems like a lot to me.

Beauvoir parent here- the school does not follow that snack menu. Snacks are usually worse than advertised. They do usually have generic fruit on hand (bananas, oranges) but what kid is choosing that over goldfish? [/quote]
