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 +Milk program. Here's scoop number nine on MILK.

SLICED APPLES

Apples are grown on deciduous trees (Malus domestica) which reach a height of 3 to 12 meters (9.8 to 39 ft).

Tens of thousands of varieties are grown worldwide.

Apples are a pomaceous fruit, meaning they have extra or accessory flesh around the core of seeds.

For further information, fascinating facts and interesting history on this delicious fruit please read the SCOOP on apples.

Students will receive their delivery during class time. 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 fruits offered.

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