Ranchdale PS offers a healthy nutritional snack 5 days a week for all students. It is served in the classroom, just before the morning recess. It consists of a fresh fruit or vegetable, a whole grain product and a dairy product. 

For the 2023/2024 school year the program will run from September 11 2023 to June 27, 2024.

Current research shows that children who eat healthy nutritious food are better able to learn in the classroom. They can also:

• concentrate better
• retain and apply information more effectively
• demonstrate positive behaviour

For now our program is being funded a small amount of funding from municipal and provincial grants. However, we will let you know if we require parental contributions later in the year. We also gratefully accept donations.  If you would like to make a contribution, or you know of a company or organization that may be willing to donate to our nutrition program please contact us.
