The Kids Eat Smart Foundation Newfoundland and Labrador has partnered with the MDE community again this year to offer our breakfast program. Research has shown that there is a link between good nutrition and a child's ability to concentrate and learn. It has also shown that nutrition programs at school contribute to better attendance and improved behavior,
Our breakfast program runs Monday-Friday and is open to any child that missed breakfast, couldn't eat before their bus ride, or enjoys socializing and eating with their friends. The program relies on volunteers to help it operate efficiently each morning.
If you are able to volunteer your time, whether it be once a week, once a month, or once a year, please contact Ms. Lambert at carlalambert@nlesd.ca
A memo is going home today with more information on the program and ways community members can offer support for this worthwhile program.
