11/23/2020 8:59 AM by margaret.morabito
As you may be already aware, Burton Elementary School is working towards becoming a Heart
Healthy School. To do this, we have to complete 4 challenge weeks. Our first
challenge week is the week of Nov 23-27th, so we wanted to take a few minutes to let you know
what we would be doing here at school and how you can help us be successful.
Challenge #1
is Eat 5 servings of Fruit and/or Vegetables Every Day.
The activities
your child will be participating in while at school are:
--school-wide
Fruit/Vegetable Challenge (throughout the week)
--have
opportunities to try a variety of fruit (Tuesday and Wednesday)
--presentation
by the Oromocto Superstore Dietician (Thursday)
-Whole school
Smoothie Day (Friday)
Two ways you
can help your child be successful with the Fruit/Veggie Challenge Week are:
--
pack
lots of fruit and vegetables in your child's lunch box each day
so
they have lots to eat during snack and lunch-Remember their goal is to eat 5
servings of fruit/veggies throughout the day (they will earn 1 point for the
school-wide contest each time they eat a fruit or vegetable for snack or
lunch-the class with the highest number of points at the end of the week will
earn a special reward)
--encourage
your child to
fill out the Fruit/Veggie Consumption Journal
at
home each day next week to track how many days they were able to eat 5 servings
(this will come home on Monday)
Your cooperation
is very much appreciated! We couldn't do this without your help. Thank you!
