Lunches & Snacks

 

Students need to bring their own lunch and snacks. We ask that students bring ‘boomerang lunches’, where students take home all garbage from their lunches. 

 

As part of the learning at GMA, students will be involved in the school garden and foraging in the forest and any harvests collected will be offered from time to time for the children to try or take home. Fireside snacks will also be cooked occasionally as part of our outdoor studies and circle time.  If your child has a special dietary need or allergy please let us know. We will be in touch if there are any other students who have food allergies that may result in certain items being banned from all lunches and snacks.
