Mini Cucumbers Are on their Way

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.

The cucumber is a creeping vine that roots in the ground and grows up trellises or other supporting frames, wrapping around ribbing with thin, spiraling tendrils. 

Cucumbers are scientifically classified as fruits because they have an enclosed seed and develop from a flower. 

Cucumbers are 95% water.

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 school administration at 604-713-4620.
