Classroom Celebrations, Events, and Nonfood Rewards
Food and beverages are sometimes part of classroom celebrations, parties, and special events or offered to students as rewards for academic achievement or positive classroom behavior. Schools and parents can work together to ensure that celebrations, events, and rewards support health. For example, they can provide only healthy foods and beverages at celebrations and events and offer nonfood items for rewards. Ideas for nonfood rewards include extra time for recess, stickers, or a note of recognition from a teacher or principal.
