An Important Comment from Anonymous

"Hi Aron,

I have three children in two different schools in High Level. I think healthy lunch programs are a great idea. Packing nutritious lunches for my children is often challenging as I am a single working mom, however it is still a priority for me. I would love to have the peace of mind that healthy choices were available to my kids instead of vending machines and deep fried foods from the canteen. Working in the health sector, I see many cases of childhood obesity in our region and although there are many explanations for this, unhealthy and non-existent lunch programs are certainly contributing to this epidemic."

Anonymous, you share the same sentiments as I do. The Alberta government expects daily physical activity (DPA), there was funding obtained last season for new gym equipment at High Level Public School, with the long days in the winter the school board is only doing a disservice firstly children then parents and teachers by neglecting healthy choices in our schools. Thanks for the great comment.

Regards,
Aaron.
