NIBBLES ON NUTRITION

PDS is committed to enhancing the health and well being of our boys.  We strive to empower them to make lifelong healthy choices.

 Snacks

Snacks are provided each day.  The snack includes a drink and finger food.  Please make sure your son’s teacher is aware of any food allergies.

  Lunch
Full-day boys will bring lunch each day and boys dismissing early on Monday and Friday will bring lunch on T, W, TH only.  Please do not send a drink, as all students will choose between milk and water, which is provided, by the school.  Time will not permit us to microwave lunch items.  Your son may bring his lunch in a lunch box or a paper sack.  Food packages that are not opened will be sent home in his lunch box.  We will ask the boys to throw away all opened packages.  Please send a spoon in your son’s lunch if one is needed.  We do not have spoons available in the classroom. 

We will encourage the boys to open packages on their own.  Please promote this at home and when you dine out.

Knowing how important it is to stay well hydrated, we ask that each boy bring an empty water bottle each day.  The students will fill their bottle after arriving to avoid unexpected spills along the way.  Students are not allowed to add flavoring to the water.  Please make sure that your son’s name is clearly represented.
