Breakfast Program: Expanded to Five Mornings


 
Currently our students come to us from two Junior High Schools. These are I J Samson and Holy Cross Junior High. Each of these schools have identified a need for a breakfast program for their students. They each operate a Breakfast Club in association with the Kids Eat Smart program.

 In the past year we have recognized the fact that the needs of these students do not disappear when they transition to High School. As a result we have now instituted our own Kids Eat Smart program.

 We are providing a breakfast of toast, juice, fruit, etc each morning Monday to Friday. This is open to all students, not just to those who cannot afford it. The philosophy is that all students perform better in school if they eat properly.
Food for this project comes from donations and sponsorship. Any money or in -kind contributions are matched dollar for dollar by Kids Eat Smart. If you would like to make a contribution or if you have a contact in the corporate world who might help us out please contact gailzwicker@esdnl.ca or at 579 6465.

 A tax receipt can be provided for the value of any contributions.
