If you hear a loud noise on October 23rd,
something that sounds like Godzilla is taking a bite out of a high-rise
building, don’t fret, it may be thousands of students practicing healthy
eating.
October 23rd 2014 is GREAT BIG
CRUNCH day and across Ontario students (and staff!) have the opportunity to add
to the BIG CRUNCH. In Perth County schools are supported in the GBC by Huron
Perth Eat and Learn, the community partnership that funds student nutrition programs.
The event is deliciously simple, gather all
the students together, talk a little bit about why it is important to eat
healthy foods, highlight the wonderful variety of apples we have growing right
here in Southwestern Ontario and then, with a countdown: 3,2,1 – CRUNCH all
together.
Of course students then get to finish the
tasty apple, the staff gets to model
healthy eating by joining them, and everyone celebrates getting one of their
required fruits and vegetables for the day.
All schools are welcome to take part and
for more information they can contact Nancy Fisher, Community Manager of Huron
Perth Eat and Learn at (519) 440 0926 or nancfish@fc.amdsb.ca
Some fun resources are also available at www.osnp.ca
A new idea this year is to encourage
businesses, offices and other adult locations to join in with their own GBC. It
could be a perfect fundraiser to support your local school and their Student
Nutrition Program.
