• When to serve? Allow students to access the cart between the end of the school day and after school activities.

• Where to locate? The cart should be located in a central area including the hallway, cafeteria, central classroom, or school lobby.

• What to serve? Provide only Smart Snacks approved foods such as fruit, baked chips, nuts or yogurt. Work with your food service department to ensure that snacks sold to students meet the guidelines.
