Classroom Celebrations

Celebrations and seasonal holidays are an important part of the school experience. Here are some ideas to help incorporate healthier snacks and physical activity into these special events:

Healthy Snack Calculator for Classroom Parties

The Governing Board of Chico Unified School District (CUSD) recognizes the link between student health and learning. Children and youth that begin each day as healthy individuals are more receptive to the learning experience and more likely to succeed now and in the future. We ask parents and teachers to comply by only offering/providing current Smart Snacks Federal and State regulations (Healthy Calculator) healthy foods for all school related activities, including classroom parties. The district requests that all persons bringing food on campus intended to share with others to adhere to the healthy calculator prior to bringing food on campus. Class parties or other food related celebrations shall be held after the lunch period when possible. Please see Smart Snack Requirements for USDA compliance. Thank you for your cooperation.
