Are fig newtons really a healthy snack?!

for a child!. he is only allowed healthy snacks for a snack in class!. i usually send grapes or apple slices ect but we ran out and i forgot to pick up something at the store so i sent hubby up to grab something quick and he brought fig newtons back!. i dont have a problem with them but the teacher wont allow the children who bring unhealthy snacks to class to have a snacktime!.!.!.of course i dont want my lil man left out!.

so would you consider this a healthy snack or not!? the paper she sent home said obviously fruit or veggys were good to send but also crackers or a small amount of pretzels were fine too and then she said "ECT" lol!.!.!.!.so there isnt really a no no list of foods!. so i guess im left to guess what she means by healthy!. beings that pretzels are fine i would think a fig newtons would be too!?!?!?
