End of the Year cook out at school.....

Patience teacher wrote me a note saying they are going to have a cook-out.
Would I like to let her participate or bring her lunch. She has only participated in the Valentine Party and Christmas Party. Every other event she has no thank you.

So that was a easy answer....I'm not thrilled with the cook-out food.
Regular hot dog, white bread bun, and chips, and cookie!!!!!

How our family would modify the meal would be
100% beef hot dog or veggie dog (meat hot dog with no nitrates)
Whole wheat bun
And fresh fruit

However I know the school cannot afford to feed that many children with those food choices.  Patience has done so well later that evening I will make sure for dinner she has fish/veggies or a protein  with green veggies.

That day the children will play outside most of the day so she will have exercise.
On a rare occasion we have went to a gathering and they have white bread, chips, cookies. Patience will whisper "Momma this isnt so great for me"

And I will just smile and say shhh. She truly knows the difference.

One snack.....

Almost every day I will pack fresh fruit in Patience backpack for her snack.

Every now and then I will pack low sugar dried apple chips.
