Healthy Heroes test

Last year, to fundraise for our student nutrition program, the school hosted a pancakes day. This year, the Healthy Heroes’ team brainstormed ideas for a healthier fundraiser. They decided that students could bring a dollar to wear a hat to school on a specific day. The Healthy Heroes created announcements, posters and an assembly presentation to promote the fundraiser. We raised a total of $268.48. The school reacted positively to this event and many participated. We will continue to plan other healthy fundraisers for next year.

During the month of March, we completed the « Eat the Rainbow » challenge. Our Healthy Heroes team created a tally chart with each day of the week corresponding to a certain colour of fruit or vegetable. At lunch hour for two weeks, our members of our team went to each class to determine how many students had brought that given fruit or vegetable colour. At the end of the two weeks, we made smoothies for the two classes that brought the most fruit and vegetables.

Our team created announcements and posters to promote and remind the students of the upcoming challenge.

We had a large number of students participating and our team was really enthusiastic.
