Food for Thought

The New Brunswick Children’s Foundation, (NBCF) based in Saint John NB, has donated $6000.00 to Miramichi Valley High School for the school’s breakfast program. This program is designed to feed students who don’t get a breakfast before getting to school, for amongst other reasons, they just don’t find the time. Mornings are generally considered the best time for learning but without something nutritious to eat a learner’s energy level may not be able to keep up. Some of the grant is expected to be used towards the purchase of an "industrial" level toaster. Mr. Ross Hartlen, on the right, local director for  NBCF, presents the cheque to MVHS Principal Shawn Wood. Shown also from the left is Rachel Tsistinas, ASD-N Community School’s Co-ordinator, and MVHS teacher Tila Holland, a member of the school's breakfast program steering committee.
