Healthy Food is fuel for learning and help keep students energetic throughout their school day. Research has shown that eating healthy snacks contributes to improved academic performance, school attendance and classroom behaviour. All students are encouraged to bring healthy snacks to school. We recognize that there may be circumstances that make this difficult.
Our Healthy Snack Club is available daily at 1:15pm in front of the main office. Volunteers serve a variety of healthy foods that meet the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) Student Nutrition Guidelines. Typical items include fruits, whole-grain or protein foods. Our school’s snack program is delivered in partnership with, and funded by, the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) with support from the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) and from community partners, City of Ottawa, various community-based fundraising initiatives, and private donations. Our team references student allergy information on file; please contact the office to inform of any food restrictions and/or dietary considerations about which we should be aware.
Thank you to School Council for supporting our program through volunteers and/or donations.
