The ASD-N Healthy Learners in Schools Program, along with MANGO, are launching their 2nd MANGO Mania Blitz of the school year with a Healthy Lunches promotion. Throughout the month of February elementary schools in the Rexton, Miramichi and Blackville areas will have morning announcements and web site postings with tips and suggestions for the preparation of healthy lunches. In addition to teaching sound nutritional practices, the goal is “… to have parents, teachers and students learn more about what a healthy lunch consists of and helping our students fuel their bodies properly at lunch so that they will be better learners and have lots of energy for their day,” stated Public Health Nurse Darlene MacDonald. A MANGO Mania Challenge is planned for the week of February 19th to 23rd. Visit Healthy Lunches for Healthy Learners for more information and weekly updates.
