Well done to the whole school for their successful participation in the Food Dudes initiative . We've seen a huge improvement in the healthy eating habits across the whole school - staff included !!
We hope this is maintained and that the children have a new found liking for healthy food - this continues to build on the major progress we made last year after swimming classes in Sportslink where many of the children were more open to eating the healthy options provided .
Thanks to Amy C. for coordinating the program in school and leading by example in the staff room 😀
We got some correspondance from the Food Dudes Team - please see below :
Kilcoskan NS has been selected to take part in a piloted programme organised by Healthy Ireland . As you know, after daily produce packs cease, we commence phase 2 of the Food Dudes programme where pupils will be encouraged to bring in fruit and veg from home in their Food Dudes lunchbox.
Along with this phase, Healthy Ireland is funding a delivery of whole produce packs per pupil, filled with fruit and veg that are perfect for the lunchbox. We will send a pack containing 5 apples, 5 satsumas, 1 punnet cherry tomatoes and 1 bag carrots, for each of your pupils at the end of their Food Dudes intervention. The pack will include a note to parents, explaining the pack and providing some additional resources that they may find useful in encouraging healthy eating at home. As part of this pilot, we would love to hear your feedback and any feedback you receive from children or parents.
