A breakfast-themed class happened to fall on Pancake Tuesday with the creation
of Pancakes, French Toast, Crepes, and fruit smoothies. Extra samples were
shared with grade 6 homeroom teachers, administration, office staff, and other
staff members chosen by students.
Mr. Smith commented that, “the staff and students at Magnetic Hill have
taken initiatives at the school this year to support healthy living and eating.
We have become a Breakfast Clubs of Canada School and with this funding
we have made a conscious effort to improve the nutritional quality of the food
served each day. The School participated in the Jump Rope for Heart program
as part of an assembly sponsored by our “Red Rockets” Team with an emphasis
on movement and making good food choices. As a school we participated in
the Crunch and Move challenge with daily school-wide movement activities and
healthy snacks. In our new technology lab we have been exploring the “Chefs!”
toolkit from the Province of New Brunswick with emphasis on food education
and making healthy choices at the grade 6-8 level. We have worked with our
cafeteria staff to offer more healthy options and greater choice of items when
eating at the cafeteria. Each small step has allowed us to move on the journey
towards a healthier lifestyle at Magnetic Hill School.
The recipes students provided on the day of their competition will eventually
be put together to form a grade 6 cookbook. Students will get copies and
these cookbooks will act as a fundraiser for the Tech Department at the school.
Rumor has it that Chef Fowler will be contributing some recipes.
For now, we leave you with a favourite recipe from the Chefs! toolkit
for Strawberry Apple Salsa. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
