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.

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.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the PAC via e-mail or contact the school administration at 604-713-4620.
