Health Update: September 2024

We started this year learning about:

• Food Groups

• Essential Nutrients

• Food Labels

A visit from Mrs. Jonker of Noble Goat Farm, who shared information about farming and let the students try some tasty produce.

Currently looking at additives and how they can be harmful to our health.

Starting on Halloween, we will not pass out any candy or treats that contain some of the worst additives i.e. Red 3 & 40, Blue 1 & 2, Yellow 5 & 6, BHT, HFC and MSG etc.

Most topics for October will be different diseases (Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Health) germs and some CPR for the older grades. Mrs. Cameron, RN and Mrs. Kine, RN will visit the classes and share their knowledge with the students.
