Packing your kids’ lunches for school is a great way to monitor the nutritional content of their meals. Sometimes kids don’t want to bring their own lunch to school because their friends don’t bring theirs, or they would prefer to eat the lunch the school serves.

The note can be an encouragement for an upcoming test, congratulations for doing well on a project, a cute little drawing, or simply “I Love You.”
