Fruit Face-Off

Westminster Fruit Face-Off coming soon!

Look for a new school council initiative called Westminster Fruit Face-Off starting next week. 

Thanks to a Healthy Schools Grant that WPS was awarded, beginning Monday, February 8th and continuing for 5 weeks every Monday, School council will be offering our children freshly cut, healthful fruit snacks during lunch recess. Two fruit options will be available to sample each week, free of charge, to encourage kids to eat and try new foods. Children sampling these fruit will then vote for their favourite fruit which will be tallied as part of a math activity.

We are also looking for volunteers to help us prepare these healthy snacks. If you are available on Monday mornings please email:
westminster.ps@sc.yrdsb.edu.on.ca. Or simply drop by the school on Monday, February 8 at 8:30 a.m. ready to chop!
