Old Peachtree Montessori School

"A love of learning for life..."

During the year, our families in each class take turns providing snack for the class. Please involve your child as much as possible when choosing from the suggested list below. Planning and shopping for the items can be a fun learning experience (comparing items, weighing fruits and vegetables, discussing healthfulness (i.e. whole grain items, fresh foods), etc.).

Please bring the snack and food preparation items on the first day of the week that you have been assigned. Please come so that you are the first in carpool and can bring the items in, with your child, just before carpool starts. Your child will help in placing the items in proper storage, after carpool.

Due to peanut and tree nut allergies in our general school environment
DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PEANUT OR TREE NUT PRODUCTS.

Please bring the following specified snack and food prep items the first day of the week that you have been assigned and drop them off as you come through carpool. Thank you!
