Nutrition for School Learning 2012-2013
Is your school facing socio-economic challenges? Does your school have a nutrition program that is funded from your school budget or local sources? If so, contact your local ETFO president to be nominated to participate in ETFO’s "Nutrition for School Learning" program in partnership with the Grocery Foundation.
"Nutrition for School Learning" enables public elementary schools to receive product vouchers to save up to 75% off the retail cost of food. School communities facing socio-economic challenges that have been nominated by their ETFO local can order and redeem cost-cutting food vouchers from a list of grocery stores listed on the flyer. All schools need to identify a "food ambassador" for the program – preferably a volunteer and NOT a full-time classroom teacher.
The attached
flyer outlines the program. If you have any additional questions, please contact Jim Giles (jgiles@etfo.org) for more information.
