École Van Walleghem School

Nutrition Policy

École Van Walleghem School aims to partner with students, parents, and the community to encourage healthy food choices.

When planning activities, events, and programs, staff members will make decisions based on the Manitoba School Nutrition Handbook. Adults will model and encourage healthy food choices.

Fundraising will reflect our belief that funds can be raised through the sale of nutritious food items, non-food items, or events, e.g. Walkathon, Wreath Sale, wrapping paper, etc.

École Van Walleghem School will promote and encourage nutritionally balanced choices for class and school celebrations.

We recognize the importance of water to learning and health and encourage students to bring water bottles to school.

École Van Walleghem School is an “allergy aware” school. Peanuts, tree nuts, or any products containing peanuts/tree nuts should not be brought to school.
