Nutrition/Food Program
Nutrition/Food Program:
At
Clarington CIS, we believe food is an important foundation in being ready to
learn.
Food is not
only essential for us to learn, it brings us together as a community of
learners.
At our
school, we attempt to provide food in the following ways:
- A
“bagel cart” is available at various times throughout the week
- Coffee,
tea, hot chocolate, fresh water is available most times in our foyer
- Each
classroom has a “food bowl” with various snacks as they become available
- Most
Fridays include a free “hot lunch” for students
- During
holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, our staff coordinate to bring our students
a holiday dinner with all the fixings!
- Our
CYW has various contacts in our community to help students obtain food, as well
as other basic necessities
Most
students will speak of great experiences around food at our school, and how
Clarington CIS is enriched by the value put into our nutrition/food program.
