Hello Parents,

I am a mother of a 2nd grader and Kindergartener in Panther Run Elementary.  We love our school and teachers, but I have continued to be troubled by the fact that our kids are not allowed snacks in between lunches/dismissal. The Kindergartners tend to have lunch at 10am, and then absolutely nothing until picked up. That's 4+ hours of not eating. Not to mention if they have after school activities, that would be 5+ hours of not eating. Both my kids come home complaining how hungry they are and of headaches. 

I believe this is detrimental to their health and would love to see "working snacks" incorporated in our school. Working snacks would be beneficial to them in many ways, providing the nourishment they need, boosting their academic success and well being. 

Please sign the petition if you agree and would like to see this change in our school.
