OUR SOLUTION
Sundre & District Nutrition for Learning Society goes into the school with a nutritious snack and beverage for every student at River Valley School from ECS to grade 8. This free snack program addresses the nutritional needs of children, gives them a head start in their learning, encourages social interaction and offers service to the community.
The response has been overwhelming to us. Theachers inform us that 82% of the children reported less irritability, 41% decrease in discipline problems and 73% of children experience increased attention span.
The introduction of a nutritious snack and education about proper nutrition has had an impact on entire families as the children continue to apply what they have learned at home.
