Sugar Alert!

The drinks that were once an occasional treat are now being consumed on a daily basis by many of our kids!!!  I am surprised  how many students here at Cozy drink high sugar beverages with their lunch.  Many times the students drink them before eating, which results in a ruined appetite.  Not surprisingly, much of their meal ends up uneaten.  In addition, excessive consumption of sugar laden drinks contribute to cavities, diabetes, and obesity.  Please talk to your child about the drink choices they make, both at home and at school, and together discuss ways to limit daily sugar consumption and encourage hydration with water every day.

Please also take a moment to click above and watch this short video.  "Share the Love, Share the Water" encourages families to avoid sugar sweetened beverages.
