St. James students munched'on
fruit and veggies last week as a
fruit and vegetable "fiesta" began a
healthy snack program at the
school.
With funding from a Victorian
Order of Nurses project that is
bringing fruit and vegetables into
278 schools across Southwestern
Ontario, St. James students
snacked off of trays of fresh produce
every day before the morning
recess.
"So far, it's been a huge -hit. The
kids love it," says principal Mary
Brown.
Each day last week focussed on a
different colour with red, green and
orange fruits and veggies on the
tray.
As well, students who pack fruit
and vegetables in their lunch quali-
fied to put their names in a draw
with the chance of winning play-
ground toys like balls and skipping
ropes.
The snack program was initiated
by the school council to ensure all
students were receiving healthy
food during the school day.
"There are families out there who
are not in a position to supply
healthy food and we wanted to offer
a way to have it without drawing
attention to their circumstances,"
says Brown.
