Getting Involved

We have established a fantastic team of volunteers to support the launch and ongoing operation of the program.  We will need the ongoing support of volunteers to help with food preparation, distributing food to students, cleaning and tidying, and helping with weekly planning.

We are also looking for parents who would like to join the Student Nutrition Committee. This committee will support our coordinator in:

- decisions regarding food vendors

-considerations surrounding the distribution of the food

-decisions around the management of food waste

- sharing information with our school community/EBSAC

 -supporting and communicating decisions related to donations and allocations of funds raised 

Program Details 

The program has resumed for the 26/27 school year! We will be starting with 3 days a week with the goal of offering snacks every morning by November. 

Students will be served food items from 2/3 food groups daily: fruits/vegetables, whole grains, and protein (such as dairy, cheese, or yogurt). We will follow the provincial Nutrition Guidelines for student nutrition programs.

Participation 

All students are included regardless of financial contribution. If you do not wish your child to be part of the program, please contact Claire.Argyropoulos@tdsb.on.ca .

Allergy Safety 

We offer only nut- and peanut-free food items and will do our best to accommodate other allergies. If your child has any food allergies, please record allergy information on the Start-of-Year forms and inform the office of any new or additional allergies. This information will inform classroom snack procedures and menu considerations.
