Nutrition For Learning:
Nutrition for Learning seeks to provide community-based nutrition programs that are universally accessible to all students in the Region of Waterloo. At Holy Spirit, our students have benefitted from the support of the Nutrition for Learning program throughout the school year. Students have healthy snacks available within their classroom whenever they may need something extra. Items such as fresh fruit (apples & oranges), cereal, granola bars, apple sauce, crackers, yogurt tubes, and cheese strings are offered to students through this program.
Monies are being collected to help support the continuation of this program at our school. 100% of all funds raised will be applied to the purchasing and delivery of food for the program. If you are able to make a small donation of $2 or more, please do so on School CashOnline.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Nutrition for Learning program. Your support means a great deal to all the students served.
