Breakfast Program       

We are pleased to announce that we are introducing a Breakfast Program here at St. Joachim School. The program will offer a selection of healthy breakfast items such as: bagels, toast, cereal, yogurt, fruit, cream cheese, cheese, milk and juices.

All students are welcome to join, as we believe that missing breakfast can often lead to both physical and academic difficulty throughout the day. There are many reasons why children do not eat breakfast, including our busy lifestyles. Some children are just not ready to eat breakfast before leaving home. If you are finding it difficult to get your child to eat breakfast, the Breakfast Program may be the answer for you.

Our program is supported through the Breakfast for Kids organization. We would also appreciate the support and welcome donations from our parents or the community. We are asking students to bring a donation of $0.25 for each breakfast. The program began on the morning of Monday, February 6, 2012 and will run from 8:20 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. Students are to enter the school through the Kiss and Ride doors and proceed to the Staff room. Children should not be dropped off before 8:20 a.m.

We require that each interested child have a permission form completed. This does not mean that each child that is enrolled will be expected to participate every day; it simply means that when your child joins us, it is with your permission and that we will be informed of any potentially harmful food allergies. Your child is expected to demonstrate proper behaviour in this program. Permission forms were sent home to all students from Grades 1 to 8 and our morning Kindergarten classes mid January.

If you are able to provide financial support, or direct us to possible supplier contacts, please contact Mrs. Napoli or Mrs. Alonzi-Peever.
