School Nutrition Program

Nutrition Program

The Nutrition Program springs from an Alberta Government grant program that is designed to provide students with a healthy meal each and every day.  Because this meal is made available to everyone, St. Francis ensures that each and every student who walks through our doors has the chance to focus on their learning instead of an empty stomach.  

Strict nutritional guidelines are followed to ensure that this program delivers a variety of meals that are tasty, healthy, and easy to replicate for students at home.  On top of providing a daily meal, students are encouraged to try new foods, new recipes, and new cultural dishes that will help students make well-informed, life-long, healthy living choices in their diet.
