JKs Learn the Importance of Eating a Rainbow Every Day
Last week, our JKs filed into the Dining Hall first thing in the morning for a health lesson to learn about where the school's food is prepared, healthy eating, and how to create a rainbow plate. Chef Julie and Clare Barker, Aramark’s Registered Dietitian, led this interactive session about the importance of eating a rainbow every day.
In addition to the JK visit, all Junior School classrooms received a surprise rainbow fruit platter for morning snack. The lunch salad bars were also beautifully arranged by the colours of the rainbow featuring fruit and veggies, and JKs created healthy rainbow artwork as part of the display.
As educators at CDS, we feel it is important to demonstrate healthy choices to our students so that they can continue to make them at home and in our wonderful Dining Hall. Go Rainbow!
Back
Both spoke to the students about how good it feels to eat more fruits and vegetables rather than cookies and candy. They explained that not only does your body feel stronger, but you also get sick less often; your eyes and brain perform better, and therefore, learning is enhanced.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
