Nutrition Program

Greetings all,

Our Nutrition Program has now started.  We are allowed to run a Nutrition Program as long as we follow a specific set of criteria established by Public Health.  We are allowed a few parent volunteers and members of School Council have agreed to take this on.  We have funding from Tastebuds, which is an organization that supports all of the schools in Hamilton.

Presently, we are offering a morning “breakfast” program which will provide some food items to all classrooms during first period on Mondays and Thursdays (although this coming week we will be using Monday and Wednesday due to a scheduling conflict).  Teachers will have the flexibility to distribute items to students as they arrive or to wait until first break if the items are causing a disruption to their learning.

Food items will generally be things like granola bars, white milk, apple sauce, muffins, apples, bananas.  We are aware of any food allergies where parents have submitted their medical information and emergency procedures back in September.  Please check with your child’s teacher if you think we missed you.  The volunteers have been given allergy information.  If there are any questions or concerns, please email Mr. Clemens ([email protected]).
