Food and Snack Policy
At SCGSTL, we strive to keep a healthy and safe environment with our safety procedures and the food that enters our classrooms.
We are a Peanut- Free school. Do not send in items made with peanuts or factories that may process peanuts or products with peanuts. Some of our children are highly allergic to these products, and having these products in the building can cause severe allergic reactions.
Grades K - 5 will be given a 15-minute snack break during a designated "school-wide" snack time. During this time, ONLY healthy snacks and water will be allowed. Eating healthy snacks to fuel the body is essential for young minds. We are encouraging healthy eating habits throughout the building.
Please Do Not send the following:
● Potato Chips
● Candy
● Cookies
● Donuts
● Soda
● Juice (many juices contain high doses of sugar)
Items that make for healthy eating:
● Kettle Corn
● Veggie straws
● fruits
● veggies
● WATER
Students who do not bring a suitable snack for snack time will be provided a snack by the school.
***Children are encouraged to bring their own water bottles to school daily.
