JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

This year’s Jump Rope for Heart event was amazing!

Everyone did great and had a lot of fun. We raised

approximately $8500.00. Awesome Job!

Students were very active as well as inclusive. They let

others join their skipping group when they were alone

with nobody to skip with. Some other students had

friendly competitions with others and some taught their

peers some awesome tricks.

With a little practive everyday you can adhieve your goal

of skipping!

Celebrating Local Food Amy Skeoch MHSc, RD

Summer is almost here! And it’s never too early to start thinking about the fantastic local food opportunities we have in Ontario. Did you know that June 5-11th is “Local Food Week”? As part of the Ontario government’s Local Food Strategy, local food week puts a spotlight on the many farms, food markets and initiatives that supply us with fresh delicious food. For a list of events during this week visit Foodland Ontario, or visit their Facebook page to see what’s happening in your area. Do your kids know where their food comes from? Why is it a good idea to buy local? It’s important for kids to see and understand how much hard work and resources contribute to the abundance of fresh food items they see in grocery stores and markets. How do strawberries and potatoes grow? How is cheese made? And where does chicken come from? If you want to enhance your child’s understanding of the local food system you can: · Visit a farmer’s market or look up some nearby farms that

sell their products (see link below) · Talk to the farmers that produce the foods and connect

your kids to the local food process · Ask your kids to look for the Foodland Ontario symbol

that indicates local items, or ask them to look for items that are produced in Ontario on the label

· Grow your own mini-garden so they can experience

growing their own food

Learning about our local food system is something we should

all experience, because as you know..…good things grow in Ontario!

What produce is in season? https://www.ontario.ca/foodland/page/availability-guide Is there a farm near you to visit? http://ontariofarmfresh.com/ Is there a farmer’s market in your area? http://farmersmarketsontario.com/MarketsV2.cfm?uSortOrder=City Sources: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/about/localfood.htm https://www.ontario.ca/foodland/page/why-buy-local

Ms. Laing takes Drama students to PDSB

On May 31st, the Peel Drama Showcase took place at the Living Arts Centre. Twelve schools throughout the Peel District School Board were selected to participate including Red Willow! A group of our grade five students presented a skit called 'There Was An Old Person Who Swallowed A Fly'. The skit was created by the students. We are so proud of our Drama Showcase participants: Brooke, Ajith, Mareekah, Japneet, Sameeha, Harshill, Raman and Sabari.
