Over 6000 SNACKS distributed!

The PTA is excited to announce the Northside Snack Bank which provide a regular supply of snacks to classroom teachers. The purpose of the snack bank is to ensure students have a snack each day and to reduce the amount of personal funds teachers spend to provide student snacks. 

SUPPORT AND DONATIONS

You can support the snack bank in the following ways: 

• Sending a snack daily for your child(ren) when possible.  

• Donating snacks to the snack bank.  For a list of snack options, please refer to our Amazon Wish List or WalMart Wish List. Snacks do not have to be purchased from these lists but we prefer to have items similar to those on the wish list. Please no snacks containing nuts. 

• Making a monetary contribution on MemberHub. 

• Contacting the PTA with corporate or non-profit sponsorship ideas. 

SNACK WISHLIST

We are in need of the following individually packaged items: 

• Pretzels

• Crackers (Ritz Bits, Cheez-its, Goldfish, Wheat Thins, animal crackers)

• Nutri-grain bars, granola bars, Quaker Chewy bars

• Applesauce pouches

• Popcorn (SmartFood, Pirates Booty, or other)

Store brand versions of these items are fine!  Please no items containing nuts or peanut butter. 

SNACK DELIVERY

We will provide a reusable grocery bag with your snacks every 2 weeks.  We will not include any snacks that contain nuts. Each teacher is responsible for picking up their snack bag from the front office every other Monday morning (schedule below).  Your bag is labeled with your name and grade- please make sure you have the correct bag as snacks are distributed based on the number of students in each class and by grade.

Please return your snack bag to the front office by 1PM each Friday afternoon before a Monday snack delivery. You may bring your own container to pick your snacks and return your bag immediately if you wish. If you have received snacks that you will not use, please return to the snack bank in your snack bag.
