Enjoy the sun and the longer days and make March your month to eat healthier! Here are a couple of healthy ideas to incorporate fruits and veggies into your diet. Start your day off with a Fruit Smoothie...frozen fruit, small container of yogourt, pure orange juice and blend to perfection or try homemade trail mix using popcorn, dried fruit such as apples or strawberries, cashews, unsalted peanuts, your favorite cereal and some raisins. If you like your veggies raw...cut up celery and carrot sticks and add your favorite low calorie dip, peanut butter or eat plain!
With funding from Anglophone North School District, EWG students celebrated the Acadian culture on March 1st. They were treated to an Acadian breakfast of petit soeur, poutine a troue, baked beans, pancakes, biscuits and refreshments. The students provided the art work depicting information about the culture and acadian music played over the intercom while the staff cooked up a feast. The school wishes to thank those ladies in the community and staff members who baked and provided the delicious start to the day. Merci!
Please remember to wear your Pink Shirt on Wed. Feb. 27th.It's a colour not everyone wants to wear, but those who are brave enough to put on a pink t-shirt are sending a powerful message to bullies. According to the campaign, every seven minutes someone is bullied on a playground in Canada and its effects can be devastating. It demoralizes, wrecks self-esteem and in some cases has led to shooting and suicides. For more info about the pink shirt campaign visit www.pinkshirtday.ca.
