How do we ensure healthy students at WRE? Here are a few of the ways.
Morning Snack Time: It is our expectation that students will eat a healthy snack during the morning snack. These are items that are 'grown in the ground'or dairy products (eg. carrots, apples, yogurt). As well, all students are encouraged to have a water bottle at their desk.
Our school is part of the BC Fruit and Vegetable Program. Students can find fresh fruit to eat and other snacks by the school kitchen.
Hot Lunch: Our PAC encourages proper healthy food choices by providing these types of options for our Hot Lunch days. For more information, click on the following picture:
Daily Physical Acitivity: We encourage all classes at WRE to utilize Daily Physical Activity time. It has become a part of our class routines, and demonstrates that building bodies and minds is a priority for our students.
