New Snack Program

From the Farm Snack Program

Starting the first day of school, our children will eat fresh snacks prepared in our garden kitchen and delivered to each classroom daily!

The From the Farm Snack Program will replace the previous process of families providing snack weekly for each classroom. Historically, families have spent $25-$50 per week purchasing snack for their class.

What this program provides:

• Seasonal produce delivered to school
• Tasty, nutritious snack for each student daily

What this program will cost:

• A financial donation of $25-$50 per student for the entire school year (additional donations appreciated)

This program’s success depends on:

• Consistent volunteers to wash and distribute food from garden kitchen
• Meeting our financial needs

How you can help:

• Contribute your financial donation promptly (remember, no need for snack shopping)
  
  
  
   
• Checks payable to Miraloma PTA – please write “snack program” in note section on check and give to your teacher (cash also accepted)
• Volunteer for snack preparation through your room parent! (Shifts daily at 8am in the garden).
