Byblos Bakery

May 8, 2018

Dear Parent(s):

In Kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 2, students learn to make responsible and informed choices to maintain health. Students study positive health habits, active living and nutrition and recognize the importance of basic healthy choices as they classify foods according to Canada’s Food Guide.

Each classroom has the opportunity to participate in a healthy eating workshop offered in partnership with Byblos Bakery. Presentations include an age appropriate nutrition lesson following the concepts of Canada’s Food Guide to healthy eating. Students will get to practice their knowledge by creating healthy snacks using local products. FoodImpact supplies all the ingredients for the pitas. We will use whole-wheat pita, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, banana, apple, cheese, Wowbuter, hummus and salad dressing. All ingredients are nut free, and compatible on vegetarian and halal diets.

On May 15, Rooms: 8, 5, 4, 3, 2 are participating.

On May 16, Rooms: 6, 7, 8, 9 (am and pm) are participating.

The cost for this program is $3.00. Please pay online at MyCBE Account.

Thank you for your support in this healthy eating initiative.

Sincerely,

The Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 Teachers
