Healthy Eating Habits are encouraged among our students, staff and parents. In working toward having a sugar-free environment, one of the first steps that we have taken is to use alternative rewards for our students rather than the traditional sweets. We have substituted less sugar-filled items in our school breakfast and lunch menus, but still maintain a balanced, nutritionally sound diet for our staff and students. It is believed that healthier eating habits and consistent exercise will have a positive impact upon our children's learning and ultimately their test scores.
