| Construction Update | http://cam.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/341 | Construction Update | <p>We are very excited to inform you that the school renovation and construction project started today.</p><p>Some of the construction fencing has already been put in place and this will significantly affect access to both the school and the yard for drop off and pick up. STARTING MONDAY there will no longer be access to the west side of the yard off Birch Street. That means that all students will now be picked up and dropped off at the Primary gate on Cameron Street at the east side of the school.</p><p>Please read the attached document for further information and strategies.<br></p><p><a href="/PublishingImages/Lists/LocalNews/AllItems/Parking%20and%20Yard%20Access%20Update.pdf"><img class="ms-asset-icon ms-rtePosition-4" src="/_layouts/15/images/icpdf.png" alt="" />Parking and Yard Access Update.pdf</a><br></p><p><br></p> | | | |
| 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> | | | |
