Nutrition Night

The Athlone School Parent Council hosted a "Nutrition Night" on Tuesday, September 27th.


While parents gathered in the library to hear a presentation from a Community Nutrition Educator on the importance of healthy lunches, their children were in the school's gym learning about healthy food choices. and preparing a healthy snack.


With teacher volunteers from the Athlone staff, the students gathered into two groups. One group made couscous salad and the other group made rainbow fruit kebabs. When both groups were done, they all sat and down and shared and ate what they had made.


It was very informative and fun evening for everyone!
