March is Nutrition Month! Several activities are planned to raise student awareness about healthy eating. Students are encouraged to bring at least three fruits or vegetables to school each day; every classroom will make posters promoting nutritious food choices; students will be submitting recipes from which a healthy cookbook will be created; and many games and activities are planned.
A babysitting training course will start this week for interested Grade 6 students.
In February, the school held a dress-down day to raise money for Sleeping Children Around the World. This organization provides bedkits for children in Third World countries. Thanks to the students of Sunshine Academy, $420 was raised, providing 12 needy children with a kit, which includes a mattress, bedding, pillow, mosquito net, sandals and toiletries. Thank you!
