Leeza Pearson sent her five-year-old daughter to school with a ham and cheese sandwich, some string cheese and a small package of Oreos.
She was shocked and upset when the girl came home saying her teacher wouldn't let her finish her lunch, and sent the following note.
"Dear Parents, it is very important that all students have a nutritious lunch. This is a public school setting and all children are required to have a fruit, a vegetable and a heavy snack from home, along with a milk. If they have potatoes, the child will also need bread to go along with it. Lunchables, chips, fruit snacks, and peanut butter are not considered to be a healthy snack. This is a very important part of our program, and we need everyone's participation."
Pearson told KUSA she was less than pleased. "What the school thinks is healthy for her is not what I think is healthy for her"
Leadersat the Children's Academy say the note shouldn’t have been sent, and admitted the school has no place telling parents what children can or can't eat.
