Wellness Policy

In an effort to adhere to the wellness policy for Saints Joseph and John School, the following adjustments have been made regarding food products brought into the school.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS: Students may dress up/down on their birthday.  They are acknowledged during the morning announcements.  Students are permitted to pass out non-consumable items to their classmates such as pencils, erasers, stickers, etc.  Students are not permitted to bring consumable treats to school. If parents would like to purchase a snack bar ticket ($0.50), then it may be arranged with the food services manager (sgyurko@sjjschool.org). Please note that ice cream is two tickets ($1.00).

All lunch and snack bar items served in the school have been approved by the State of Ohio and the U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines. Arrangements for purchasing snack bar tickets for the class must be made by contacting Mrs. Sharon Gyurko (sgyurko@sjjschool.org) at 238-4877 ext. 32 at least one week in advance.

Mystery Readers:  We have always enjoyed having volunteer parents, grandparents or special guests come to the primary classrooms to read stories.  Mystery Readers cannot bring consumable treats for the students.

Classroom Parties:  Teachers and room parents must meet to plan the menu for classroom parties.  Menu items, including drinks, must be taken from the approved list supplied to the teachers.
