#NOURISH KIDS NOW INVEST IN SCHOOL FOOD The COVID-19 crisis has revealed that school food is an essential public good, just like K-12 education and healthcare. Everyone needs access to good food to be healthy, particularly children and youth, and we need strong and resilient food systems to keep us safe. Promoting school food is a grassroots campaign that is calling on the federal government to make a cost-shared investment in healthy, universal school food programs, which would build on the investments of our provinces, municipalities and communities.

The Canadian Home and School Federation
Every day in education settings, teachers and school staff positively impact the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Teacher / Staff Appreciation Week (TSAW) was initiated by the Canadian Home and School Federation in 1988 and is held the week of Valentine Day ( February 14th). The purpose of this week is to encourage parents and the wider community to recognize the personal and professional contributions that our teachers and school staff make to children and their education. Every school has dedicated staff members. TSAW lets them know they are appreciated and that parents want to work with them on the same team! Learn more about Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week by visiting the TSAW page here...... link 2022 TSAW Resources Poster Remind everyone about TSAW by using our promotional flyer.
