An Invitation To Attend Our

“TOWER TO TABLE” Food Expo

Where: Montgomery Street School Gym

When: Monday, June 17, 2019



With
the nine classes involved in this project having nearly all visited with the
Fredericton Food Bank’s chef Yves Deschenes for the second time, it is time to
invite everyone from our school community to their “Tower to Table”

Food
Expo and Celebration.

            Much
has been learned and accomplished.
Students have:

            -visited Karen Verfloot’s and John
Schuttenbeld’s farms to see where the food we eat comes from

            -learn
about healthy eating and other healthy habits from “Freggie” and his friends
(Jill Francoeur,             health nurse;
Max and Whitney dietician interns, Shauna Miller,dietician; and Joe
Crossland, district             Phys. Ed. / wellness mentor)

            -prepared
their own healthy meals and learned about food preparation and safety at the
food bank

            -learned
about plant growth and grew some of the food used in their Food Bank meals with
the school’s           Tower Gardens

            -made
healthy choices and learned about own strengths and talents

            -developed
positive relationships within the community and their classes

            Now,
students are using these talents and interests to prepare projects showing what
they have learned             for you to
view at our Expo. Afterwards, pick up
some healthy recipes and materials and check out             displays on:

            -organic
gardening (John Coates, Fredericton Community Garden)

            -the
latest nutritious foods (Michelle Lajoie, dietician, Atlantic Super Store)

            -all
of the programs offered by the Fredericton Food Bank (Allison Juta)

A
special thank you goes out to Wellness NB’s Community Food Action Program,
which provided the $5000 grant that made much of this project possible; all the
farmers and specialists who helped us; and parents and grandparents who
accompanied us on field trips.
