| Classroom Celebration Food Expectations | http://cam.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/275 | Classroom Celebration Food Expectations | <p>A focus of our new school action plan involves improving the nutritional value of food that we both sell and eat at school. </p><p>Celebrations like birthdays, holidays and end-of-year classroom parties often involve foods and drinks that are high in sugar, fat, salt and empty calories. Tying less nutritious foods to celebrations sends the message that fun and 'treats' go together. This can lead to eating more of these foods (and fewer nutritious foods). Improving the quality of food prevents this from happening and puts the focus on the real reason for the celebration!</p><p>We also have many students with severe allergies to nuts, gluten and dairy.</p><p>Let's work together to make classroom celebrations both fun and healthy. If you are sending food into the classroom with your child, please make it fruit or veggies instead of candy, cookies and cupcakes.</p><p>Here is a suggested snack list:</p><ul><li>Veggies and dip</li><li>Whole grain muffins and fresh orange wedges</li><li>Fruit tray, fruit kabobs, cut up fruit</li><li>Whole grain crackers and cheese cubes </li><li>Yogurt, whole grain cereal and berries for parfaits</li></ul><p>We all thank you for your support.</p> | | | |

| Snack Shack / Eat Well to Excel Donations | http://cam.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/407 | Snack Shack / Eat Well to Excel Donations | <p>At Cameron Street Public School, we are fortunate to have a snack program fondly referred to by our students as The Snack Shack. Each day, with help from volunteers our Snack Shack is stocked with fresh fruit, vegetables and healthy proteins. We know that many of our students and families benefit from this program and we are able to support this program through Eat Well to Excel (EWTE) funding. <br></p><p>EWTE is the local student nutrition program in Simcoe County. EWTE is a non-profit community partnership that supports volunteer-run student nutrition programs in over 185 schools and programs in Simcoe County. Research shows that students with access to a breakfast and/or snack program have reduced risk for disease, are more likely to come to school and participate in class, have better test scores and are more likely to graduate.<br></p><p>As you can imagine, fresh food can become costly for a school and its community partners. We are hopeful that by adding EWTE to our school cash on-line feature that families that are able to help support our program will make a monetary donation to this very important school resource. </p><p> Please take some time to explore School Cash On-Line for additional information on one time donations options or consider becoming a monthly donor. The choice is yours. Donation receipts will be available through the office to families or individuals who choose to donate $20 or more. </p><p> Please feel free to contact the office at 705-445-2902 if you have any questions.<br></p><p>Thank you for your support!<br></p><p><br></p> | | | |
