BCHS’ Health Promotion team have worked with the School Readiness

work towards more nutritious lunchboxes.
Inside, we’ve included lunchbox packing tips, serving size information,
lunchbox idea inspiration, and places to find more information.
If it’s your first time or you’re a lunchbox veteran, we hope this guide
can help inspire and reduce some of the burdens of providing a balanced
lunchbox.
