It has become necessary to adopt a school-wide policy on snacks at recess time. The reason for this policy is due to a variety of reasons.
1-Our playground is becoming unsafe with scattered wrappers and seagulls seeking left over snacks
2-Many snacks students are bringing are unhealthy due to the high sugar/carbohydrate amount
3-Students are spending recess time hanging out and eating, rather than being active
4-Students are bringing larger snacks (i.e. family size bags of chips) and then not eating a balanced, healthy lunch
