Crunch and Sip

The Crunch&Sip program is an easy way to help kids stay healthy and happy! 

Crunch&Sip is a set break during the school day to eat salad, vegetables and fruit and to drink water in the classroom. Students bring vegetables or fruit to school each day for the Crunch&Sip break. Each child also has a small water bottle in the classroom to drink throughout the day to prevent dehydration.

Giving students the chance to re-fuel with fruit or vegetables helps to improve physical and mental performance and concentration in the classroom, as well as promoting long term health.

The objectives of Crunch&Sip are to:

*increase awareness of the importance of eating vegetables and fruit and drinking water

*give students, teachers and staff an opportunity to eat vegetables and fruit during an allocated Crunch&Sip break in the classroom.

*encourage parents to provide students who don't have a regular access to fruit and vegetables
