We're only a couple of weeks into the school year and so far it has been an endless stream of communication from the school - don't forget about meet and greet day, can we
work parties, can we volunteer
at the sale this week, will we attend Parent Education night, do we want to buy school pictures, please remember that all 4 year olds have to buy a school t - shirt, can we send $ 25 a kid for teacher gifts throughout the year, do we want to attend the coffee hosted by the room mom, will we be going on the zoo trip, don't forget that 4 year olds bring their own
snack this year, please send in updated immunization forms for everyone, did you
fill out the emergency contact paperwork, and on and on and on.
I always have a stash of
snacks in my desk
at work and one of my favourites to have on - hand is the nut butter -
filled energy bar which has considerably less sugar than the original energy bar, (although the same number of calories — I should add that while I do have a predominantly sedentary job, I also run every day and regularly engage in other physical activity) only about two teaspoons.
