We are most fortunate at PC to be able to include a healthy meal program for our children as part of their educational experience. A five week menu cycle of day-to-day meals are complemented by special events like the Quebecois lunch for Carnavale, or our recent Local Lunch featuring foods from Ontario farms, during Green Week. In addition our Kindergarten to Grade 5 students receive an afternoon snack. Our Boarders are encouraged to bring ideas and recipes from their home countries to suggest to our kitchen staff. Aramark provides food services to PC and works in close partnership with the school, to balance nutrition with school programming, in the most financially responsible manner possible.
During the school year, we have a Food Services Committee with student and staff representation that focuses on meal choices, and this year began a focus on minimizing food waste. As this school year comes to a close, the school is doing some goal setting and planning for September and would like some input from parents to help prioritize our goals.
Your thoughts about what is working well and areas to develop next year would be very much appreciated. There are four food areas to consider:
1. Meal choice/variety 2. Nutrition 3. Environmental/Waste Reduction Initiatives
4. Communication/Awareness of Food Service Initiatives
