Harvest of the Month

Health and Learning Success Go Hand-in-Hand

Studies show that healthy eating and daily physical activity have a profound impact on the body and mind by improving the ability to learn and comprehend, boosting energy, improving school attendance and changing attitudes and behaviour. Harvest of the Month connects with core curricula to give students the chance to explore, taste and learn about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables. It links the classroom, cafeteria, home and community to motivate and support students to make healthy food choices and be physically active every day.

By helping children practice healthy eating habits, you can help improve their memory and energy levels in school. With Harvest of the Month, you can set a positive example and put your child on the road to health and learning success.
