JANUARY 24, 2018 THE REPORTER 25 Program helps students start the day off right

HALIFAX: All public school students across Nova Scotia will soon be able to start each day with a healthy breakfast at school. Government has more than doubled its funding to the School Healthy Eating Program bringing the total annual investment to $1,975,000. Halifax Atlantic MLA Brendan Maguire, on behalf of Health and Wellness Minister Randy Delorey, made the announcement on January 22, at Burton Ettinger Elementary School in Halifax. “A healthy breakfast is an important start to the day,” said Maguire. “We want to lay the foundation for good nutrition and give children every opportunity possible to reach their potential in the class- room.” The new funding means the program can be offered at every school across the province, and will allow other schools to expand their current healthy eating programs beyond breakfast. That could mean providing healthy foods and beverages through vegetable Photo by Matt Draper and fruit snack programs, lunch programs, and after- Pictured at the announcement of $20,000 in mental health funding to StFX from Bell were (from the left): StFX President Dr. school snack programs.

I’m thrilled we’ll be doing even more.” “At Nourish, we know that good eating equals good thinking,” said Nourish Nova Scotia executive director Margo Riebe-Butt. “The increased funding will allow programs to offer more fruits and vegetables, ensuring good nutrition to support students to be healthy learners.” School healthy eating programs served more than five million breakfasts to Nova Scotia students last year. Every public school student in Nova Scotia will benefit from this expansion.
