MULVEY SCHOOL

Archive for the ‘Nutrition Blog’ Category

We have our healthy schools student leadership committee for the 2010/2011 school year.  These students will participate in a number of activities including; recycling in the school, helping with the healthy snacks, writing newsletter articles on relevant events and working with the nutrition coordinator.  This month four of the healthy school student leadership team created and distributed recycling posters throughout the school.  These posters were placed in the newsletter to encourage everyone at home to recycle as well.

Stay tuned for updates.

Bananas and nutrition go hand in hand.  They are great sources of an array of nutrients, with B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, potassium, manganese and magnesium.  One banana also produces 11% of the daily requirement of fiber.
