How do you get your child to eat in the mornings?
Serve realistic portions.
Children’s stomachs are smaller than ours.
If there is too much food offered at breakfast it will be difficult for them to finish. Serve smaller nutritious meals and snacks throughout day.
One serving from a food group can be divided up. For example, half a Food Guide Serving of Meat and Alternatives can be served at two different meals such as one egg at lunch and half a chicken breast (1 oz) for dinner.
Please visit Healthy Breakfasts Healthy Learners for more tips on how to get children to eat breakfast.
For the past several years, District 16 has very generously supported our local food Banks. It is time now to plan for the 2012 Christmas Season. A "Food Drive" for the food Banks will be held once again, and District organizers are asking schools to promote the Food Drive to their staff and students. Each food item donated validates a ballot for a chance to win a new multimedia computer for our school - the more donations, the more chances to win! Below is a list of food items needed.
The Healthy Learners in School Program with support from MANGO is promoting a Healthy Breakfasts for Healthy Learners project during the month of November. Each week during the month there will be new information available to parents and guardians.
