Meal Programs
Books & Breakfast
Join us from 8:15-8:45 every morning before school starts in the “Double-O two” room (002) for a light breakfast of cereal or toast, milk and juice, fruit and cheese all in a casual and informal setting. Staff serve the children their meal. It’s a great way for students be well-prepared for their learning, and to feel well-connected to their school and to the adults there. This service is free.
This program is supported by the Vancouver School Board.
Fruit & Veggie Program
The fresh fruit or vegetable are received twice a month and delivered to children to enjoy during class time, helping them learn about nutrition and healthy eating. This wonderful program relies on school staff to help prepare and organize the food.
Other
Recess snack:
All students are encouraged to bring their own healthy snack from home for recess (10:50-11:05 a.m. daily).
Allergy alert:
Please be aware that Selkirk is a “nut-allergy aware” school. We have students who are allergic to nuts and nut products and ask students to try not to bring snacks or lunch items to school that contain nuts or nut products (e.g. peanut butter). If they must be brought, students must remember to wash their hands well after eating. Allergic students also are taught various precautions to keep themselves safe. If your child has a food allergy, please let the office know.
