Tips for School Fundraising with the Food and Beverage Guidelines for Schools Selling cupcakes, pop and chips isn’t the only way to raise money for schools, try out some of these healthy ideas for your next school fundraiser. • Host a healthy bake sale. But first check out the new baked goods recipe book designed for schools. It is called ‘Bake Better Bites: Recipes and Tips for Healthier Baked Goods’. All the recipes fall into the ‘choose sometimes’ category of the Guidelines for Food and Beverage Sales in B.C Schools. Along with recipes, it includes tips on how to make your favourite recipes healthier. This resource is available online at: www.bced.gov.bc.ca/health/bake_better_bites.pdf • Raffle gift baskets with different themes: gardening, spa, kitchen • Partner with a nursery and sell plant or flower baskets • Host a silent auction - be sure to include items that students can bid on • Get your school moving by selling tickets to a bowl-a-thon, walk-a-thon or dance-athon! Free Dental Treatment for Children Without Dental Coverage: • Your 5–12 year old child may be able to receive free dental treatment through the UBC Children’s Dental Program. • A supervised dental student will provide treatment. Appointments will be available starting September 2008 • The program is for families who do not qualify for government sponsored dental coverage or do not have dental coverage through work. • The program benefits families by providing free dental treatment and the dental students by giving them experience in treating cavities. For this reason it is not meant for children who need a “check-up”. • If you know your child has cavities and would like more information please contact the Fraser Health Public Health Dental Program at (604) 539-2900. • Free bus transportation will be provided from a central location. A parent must accompany their child to the appointments.
Healthy Kids Dental Program: Your children are eligible if your family receives or is eligible to receive premium assistance through Medical Services Plan of B.C. • Healthy Kids is for children 0 – 18, and pays up to $700.00 per year for: 6 month check ups and cleanings all basic treatment such as fillings, sealants and x-rays • For more information, call 1-866-866-0800, press 4 and then 2 or the Fraser Health dental staff at 604-539-2900. A Good Night’s Sleep Sleep is important for good health and to keep children feeling their best. Lack of sleep affects children’s learning. Children need about 9-10 hours of sleep a night. To help your child get enough sleep: • Set a regular bed time routine • Have a quiet time 30 minutes before bedtime (read, warm bath, etc) • Avoid caffeine-containing soft drinks and chocolate • Provide a cool, dark, quiet room for sleeping • For more information on dealing with sleep issues, go to www.AskDrSears.com or call your local Health Unit Sip-Smarts for Students What does 1 glass of fruit punch and 10 cookies have in common Sugar! Imagine eating 8 spoonfuls of sugar or all of those cookies. That’s how much sugar is in 1 glass of fruit punch! It is important to keep your kids well hydrated, but sugary beverages are not the answer. Slurpees, sport drinks (Powerade and Gatorade), punch, pop, and fruit drinks all have too much sugar and provide little or no nutrition for your child. The better drink options by far are water and milk. To help kick the liquid-sugar habit, a new education program called Sip Smart has been launched in some BC schools (www.bchealthyliving.ca/node/104). It educates BC elementary school students on how to choose healthy thirst-quenching beverages. Watch - these lessons may be taking place in your child’s classroom LANGLEY MUSTANGS TRACK AND FIELD CLUB The Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club has had a long and successful history in Langley with both Leah Pells and Debbie Brill beginning their track and field training with the club on their way to becoming Olympians.
