As of January 1, 2008 all elementary schools must comply with the new provincial Healthy Eating Policy. This is great news for our kids, but it means that some of the foods previously sold at the school are no longer permitted. This policy covers all foods sold to students (eg. hot lunch, fund raisers, etc.). The policy is very detailed and complex. A huge “thank-you” goes out to Arlene Campbell for all of the work that she is doing to find foods that comply with the policy and are still a treat for our kids. This is a very time consuming process and there is a steep learning curve, so we thank-you in advance for your patience as we adapt to the new policy. If you look at the policy at http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/health/guidelines_sales07.pdf you will see what I mean! If you would like to help implement this new policy and help out with hot lunch, you can contact Arlene at roarme1@telus.net.
Please note as well that the cost of hot lunch will go up as the foods that meet the criteria in the healthy eating policy do cost a little more.
We look forward to having healthier kids in 2008!

Noon Hour Supervisors Needed |
|
We have often heard the phrase “A new year brings new things”. We are in need of some new noon hour supervisors! Some of our supervisors have found new adventures in 2008, and we are finding that there are spaces to be filled. Do you like being outside? Do you have 1hour a week that you can give? Maybe more? We are in need of supervisors for Wednesday and Friday from noon to 1:00pm for this paid position.
If you are interested, or want more information please contact the school. A police background check is required for this position.

Recommended reading from Pam Ratzlaff, the PAC Chair....Those who know me know that I'm not a huge reader...yes, I know that's something that I need to work on. So when I recommend an article, it means that it's really good. This article was sent to me and it shows that children whose parents are involved actually do better in school. It also outlines how PACs can be of better service to parents. Click on the link and read more.....
