WEEK #2 (Feb.11 to 15): Making a Healthy Lunch Fun!
Fun in Preparation.
Let children help make their own lunch.
Children can also help with grocery shopping and suggestions for lunch items.
Include stickers, notes or cartoons in lunch box to brighten up their day!
Convenience Foods.
Convenience lunch packs (ie. Lunchables) are easy but they may be high in fat, sugar and salt. So why not make your own.
Jazz up your children’s homemade lunch pack with colourful packages, or lunch bags to make it fun.

Tomorrow, Friday, Jan.18th students from K-3 are scheduled to go skating at the outdoor rink in Bay du Vin. Please ensure your child has warm clothing as it is calling for a cold day. Also, students must wear a helmet in order to be permitted on the ice. We do have a few spare helmets and skates and will try to accomodate as best we can. We encourage parent volunteers to meet us at the rink if you are able, to help tie skates, etc. If for some reason we cancel due to weather, we will send out a talkmail message by 11:30am.
