Rockton Nutrition Program – Tastebuds Hamilton

Hello Rockton Families

Rockton School continues to receive grants through the Tastebuds Hamilton organization to support a Nutritious snack program for our children.

Thanks to this program, and parent volunteers, we have successfully provided a morning snack to all students at Rockton.

We currently have funding to operate this program twice a week (Monday and Friday). Food Handling certifications, and regular inspections are completed, as well as frequent follow up with the Tastebuds organization occurs, in order for us to continue the program, and receive the grant funding.

Some snack options have included granola bars, apples, yogurt tubes, fruit cups, cheese strings, goldfish crackers, etc. We are so incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity for our children, and the support of our parent volunteers who make this happen!

The goal is to provide a snack to each student; however, this is optional, and students look forward to the snack offering as they enjoy receiving an additional healthy snack on these designated days. If you would like your child to opt out please notify your classroom teacher through a school note.

If you have any questions, comments or would like to volunteer with the Snack Program, please email Mrs. Fogel in the school office or Parent Council [email protected]  for more information.

Thank you
