Fruit & Vegetable Program

This week the students will receive another delivery from the BC School Fruit & Vegetable Nutritional Program.

Kindergarten to Grade 2 students will also be receiving cow's milk or a fortified soy beverage as part of the new +Milk program. Here are some more fun facts about MILK.

CARROTS

  • Carrots grow in the ground.
  • The root is the part we eat, it grows downwards into the soil and swells.
  • Carrots come in many sizes and shapes: round, cylindrical, fat, very small, long or thin.
  • Carrots are the second most popular vegetable in the world, next to the potato.
  • Carrots truly do improve eyesight.

    For further information, fascinating facts and interesting history on this crunchy vegetable please read the scoop and double scoop on CARROTS.

  • This snack is not meant to replace the foods students normally eat at school. Students can make their own decisions on whether to taste the vegetables offered.
