Programs and Services Offered - Elementary SchoolsYork Region
Community and Health Services, Nutrition Services, works in
partnership with the Elementary School Team, to promote the
Healthy Schools Program. Nutrition Services provides services
and resources that will assist your school in creating a healthy
nutrition environment, using a comprehensive or 'whole school
approach'. This means that everyone in the school, from teachers
to parents, work together to ensure students receive the same
messages about healthy eating wherever lessons are taught and
food is served (ie, offered and sold) – in the classroom, in the
school, in the home and community. So whether you're a teacher,
parent, school administrator, student or volunteer, getting
involved in improving the food and beverage choices at your
school can make a difference in students' energy, readiness to
learn and overall health! Below is a list of free nutrition
services and resources available to your school. Download a list
