The
BC School Fruit & Vegetable Nutritional Program is back for a second year! This afternoon, students will receive blueberries in their classrooms.
BLUEBERRIES
Did you know that B.C. is the second highest producer of blueberries in the world? Blueberries are native to North America and were not introduced to Europe until the 1930's. They are naturally high in vitamins C and B-complex, copper, zinc, iron, fibre, antioxidants and lutein, so enjoy a handful knowing that you are doing something good for your body as well as your tastebuds!
For further information, please read the PDF document on
blueberries.
Students will receive their blueberries 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 produce offered.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the PAC at arlordpac@gmail.com or contact the school administration at 604-713-4620.
