I know because my kid has a milk allergy and I always bring frozen fruit pops to events where ice cream will be served.....Laura Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490933782391233452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091421917770197451.post-61921975480443592862011-10-17T09:58:33.119-07:002011-10-17T09:58:33.119-07:00Thanks, guys.

We apparently did not succeed in addressing these issues in the Spring with the school. How to convey that each time the kids are offered food, it is a lesson? xoxLishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299093571161525944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091421917770197451.post-77582127689719087652011-10-16T15:19:15.991-07:002011-10-16T15:19:15.991-07:00Brad and Jenny, I *heart* you.Brad and Jenny, I *heart* you.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060981990418144426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091421917770197451.post-86010122406902194052011-10-16T14:35:29.479-07:002011-10-16T14:35:29.479-07:00Hi Lis!

There is an NAMC website called motessoritrainingblogspot.com that might be helpful to you. If you search for "snacks" or "healthy snacks" there is an article about what snacks are recommended. It suggests that schools should have a policy about food that is in the parent handbook.

Kids who eat them will return home with telltale stains on their clothing. All the other parents will demand and end to the pops. You could call yourselves the "Otter Poppers".Bradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091421917770197451.post-10012242631144936082011-10-16T00:12:34.464-07:002011-10-16T00:12:34.464-07:00Well, I've already said to Lis that it *boggle...Well, I've already said to Lis that it *boggles* my mind that anyone living in this community (or frankly, sending their kids to a Montessori school) feeds children Otter Pops. I think I'm living in a rarefied Co-op bubble...but I like it in here.<br /><br />Though what's really boggling my mind right now (in the happiest of ways) is finding out that Brad and MD read our blog!

I never had the fun group snacks, and as an adult I know that just because everyone else is eating something doesn't make it tasty or good for me. There are many times when being different is good - like being healthy.

Not only are Otter Pops full of sugar, it's just liquid and won't fill up those little bellies.
