Do you have a picky eater? Does your child put up a fuss at every mealtime? Children's nutrition can be a sore topic in any household. Many parents worry about what their children eat — and don't eat. Join us for this two hour workshop and pick up some new strategies on building healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.

Registration is required.

Feedback Required!

Attention parents,

Our play structure has been given an approximate life span of 4 more years.
We really want to hear from you, get your feedback and ideas. This project would potentially involve thousands of dollars and several years to implement.

Different ideas include but are not limited to - replacing the structure, investigating other outdoor options which would be available all year round and serve a greater number of the student population (structure is closed approximately half the year), invest in technologies for the teachers, tools for helping students with special needs just to name a few.

Our first presentation will be at our next council meeting on April 17th.
