Snack Helper

Your child will be asked to bring the snack twice during the school year, once during the Fall as the "Small Wonders Star of the Day", and secondly during the Spring as the "Small Wonders Healthy Kids Helper".

*Please note* BIRTHDAY PRIZES/TREATS* are completely optional and separate from the snack helper.  If your child wishes to bring a birthday prize/treat to pass out for their birthday or half birthday they are welcome to do so, but it is not necessary.  The birthday child will pass out the prize/treat to the other children to bring home in their backpack, we will not eat birthday treats during snack time.  Bring a birthday prize/treat only if you want to - thanks!
