(Hamilton)---The Hamilton City School's Wellness Committee is recommending that teachers eventually end the practice of allowing parents to bring cookies and cupcakes to classroom birthday celebrations. District Nurse Tracy Heinecke R.N. told the school board they also want to see teachers stop giving out candy for classroom rewards, and opt for other prizes. Heinecke says the district is already doing a good job of abiding by standards set forth by the Department of Education for school breakfasts & lunches. She says the district has been serving healthier meals, while turning off vending machines during school hours. She says the district also meets the standards set for Physical Education.
