March newsletter

I have made it back from the beach…and am freezing cold!

I was greeted this morning with many hugs and cards- it is so nice to be missed. I missed the kids too and will be happy to get back into routine. Mrs. Martineau told me that I have a well behaved class and that she did not have any problems while I was away 🙂

The March newsletter will be coming home tomorrow- please make sure to mark the important dates down on your calendar as there is a lot going on in March.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns about any of our upcoming events.

Stay warm!

U of S Nursing Students Fresh Food Buffets

A Fresh Approach to Lunch

 

Dear Parents and Guardians:

The U of S nursing students are pleased to invite your child to a healthy Fresh Food Buffet lunch.

On     March 11, 2015     your child can enjoy a healthy fun lunch at   Warman Elementary   School from the U of S nursing students’ friendly salad bar buffet. Menu items will include three fruit choices (BC apples, pineapple, and oranges), five vegetable choices (carrots, romaine lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes), three protein choices (cheese, hard boiled eggs, mixed bean salad), two grain options (whole wheat tortillas, whole wheat buns). We strive to have a nut-free menu. Allergen foods will be separated and safe gluten free options will be available.

 

Not only will the grade two students have a wonderful lunch, but they will also enjoy the opportunity to select a well-balanced healthy lunch for themselves. Our main focus with the fresh food buffet lunch will be increasing consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Proceeds from the Fresh Food Buffet will go towards the Kids in the Garden program and the purchase of a salad bar lunch tool kit, to assist with future Fresh Food Buffets.

 

Parents of the grade two students are welcome to join their child for lunch at the same cost of $5.50 per adult and a cost of $2.00 per child under 5 years. Tables will be set up in the gym or parents can sit with their child in the classroom.

 

We would like to encourage children to bring a plate and fork from home to reduce waste.

*Local carrots and dried beans supplied by Largo Farms CSA

 

The charge for this Fresh Food Buffet Lunch is $  5.50   . Please return the bottom portion of this letter to the classroom teacher by March 4,2015.

*Cash or cheques accepted (cheques made payable to Warman Elementary School)
