Again this school year, since the second week of school, the Morning Meal program is up and running in support student health and nutrition. The TDSB recognizes the direct relationship between nutrition and student achievement and research shows that students who have healthy food at school are better able to learn and function. 

Morning Meal is offered to all students before first recess and includes fresh fruit or vegetable, protein, and a whole grain item. Food choices are based on Canada’s Food Guide and Toronto Public Health Student Nutrition Guidelines.

While we receive funding from municipal and provincial government grants, these funds cover only about 25% of the cost of running the program. Contributions from parents are needed to make the program sustainable for the school year. Contributions to the nutrition program can be made through the Toronto Foundation for Student Success (TFSS) is an independent, registered charitable organization dedicated to supporting Toronto District School Board (TDSB) children and helping remove barriers to their education. 

Suggested contribution for each child: $40 (September to December). For families who are able to do so, please consider donating more to support a student in need in our school community. You can use this link to donate, click the ‘I want to support’ button, and scroll down to find 'Norway Public School Nutrition Program'. This can be a one-time or a recurring donation.

Thank you for your support of the Norway Public School nutrition program! You can read more on the TDSB student nutrition website at:  https://www.tdsb.on.ca/Elementary-School/Supporting-You/Student-Nutrition
