Dear Parents and Families,

Our school is participating in an exciting initiative called 5210 Goes to School. 5210 Goes to School

is a healthy lifestyle program based on an easy-to-remember message which stands for:

As a part of our efforts towards health and wellness, our classroom is addressing the kinds of

celebrations we have in the classroom.

School celebrations and events are exciting and important for students and staff. Birthday parties and

holiday celebrations provide a unique opportunity to help make healthy eating fun and for children to

practice wise food choices. As a school, we are encouraging healthy celebration treats, like:

■ Fruit and Cheese Kabobs – Put grapes, melons, cheese cubes, and berries onto a wooden

kabob stick.

■ Make Your Own Trail Mix – Provide bags of granola, dried fruit, and nuts for students to

make their own trail mix.

■ Fruit Smoothies – Show up at snack time with a blender, frozen fruit, and yogurt! (Be sure

to make arrangements with the teacher first!)

■ Yogurt Parfaits – Layer granola, fruit, and yogurt in plastic cups. Send in on a tray covered

with plastic wrap.

■ Vegetable or Fruit Platters with Low Fat Dip

As a school, we are also focusing on nonfood ways to celebrate our students. On your child’s

birthday, we will celebrate them in nonfood ways, like having them wear a special hat, sash, or

letting them lead class activities. Please help us promote a healthy school environment and

healthy kids!

Sincerely,
