Snack time is fun for Preschoolers and gives them an opportunity to socialize with their classmates toward the end of the day. I want to introduce them to some healthy food choices as I feel nutrition is so important with young children. Along with the snacks that are brought in each day they will drink water. Please provide 5-ounce cups and napkins for the children on your snack day.?(Please send in ONLY 18 cups and napkins as we do not have room to store tons of cups and napkins).
PLEASE DO NOT SEND SNACKS THAT CONTAIN OR ARE PROCESSED IN A FACILITY WITH ANY KIND OF NUTS.
Please pick one item from?BOTH CATEGORIES?to send in on your snack day.
Below is a list of acceptable snacks for the year:
|
Category A |
Category B |
|
Cereal (i.e. Corn Flakes, Crispix, Froot Loops, Pops and Apple Jacks) |

My name is Kate Southern. I am married to my husband of 10 years, Tom. We have been members at Immanuel since 2009. I am a mother of four children. Emma (16) and Carter (14), my stepchildren, we affectionately refer to as ?the bigs?. Caraline (8) and Coleton (6) are our youngest, and we refer to them as ?the littles?. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2004 with a BA in Psychology. After working as an assistant at Tutor Time in Okemos and then as a paraprofessional in Bloomfield Hills, I returned to graduate school at Wayne State University to pursue a Master?s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I graduated in 2010 and completed my clinical fellowship at Children?s Hospital of Michigan. I continue to work part-time as an SLP, primarily in the home care setting with medically fragile children and young adults. I have assisted Mrs. Clor and Mrs. Sell in the 4 year old and 3 year old programs before becoming a lead teacher of 3’s last year. I am so thankful that the Lord has led me to this opportunity to teach at Immanuel. I am so excited to share the love of Jesus with your tiny treasures and 3 year old preschoolers.
My name is Becky Safran. I am very excited to continue to work with children and families here at Immanuel. I have been married to Matt for 18 years and we live in Clinton Township. We have three children, all of whom attend(ed) school here at Immanuel. My son Luke is in tenth grade, my son Noah is in seventh grade, and my daughter Leah is in fifth grade. We also have two dogs named Penny and Parker. In my free time, I enjoy attending my children?s sporting events, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I assisted Carol Shull in 3 year old preschool for two years and am excited for this opportunity to team up with Kate for a 2nd year, my 4th year at Immanuel.
