AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Aurora 4-year-old Natalee Pearson came home disappointed, with untouched Oreos and a note from her teacher.
KMGH-TV in Denver reports (http://bit.ly/1P6770A) that the preschooler told her mom Friday that she wasn’t allowed to eat the cookies in her lunchbox.
She brought a note telling parents to pack nutritious lunch that includes a fruit, vegetable and healthy snack.
Natalee’s mother, Leeza Pearson, says she doesn’t agree with the Children’s Academy decision.
She says Natalee also had a sandwich and cheese and that the school took things over the top.
A spokeswoman with Aurora Public Schools says they gave Natalee a healthy alternative to the cookies.
Pearson says she is sending her daughter to The Children’s Academy as a public school student under the state’s preschool option program.
