Ten schools in Saskatchewan including two in our listening area will each receive a $15,000 grant to support student nutrition after being selected to win this year’s Mosaic School Nutrition Challenge.
The grants will support winning projects that have goals including implementing or expanding nutrition programs, enhancing kitchen and garden facilities, increasing educational opportunities for students and families and supporting reconciliation and cultural projects.
The Fort Qu’Appelle Elementary Community will use the money for projects including implement Indigenous and Metis cooking classes, while the funds for Hudson Bay Community School will be used for projects including enhancing their nutrition program.
To encourage grassroots initiatives to help improve student nutrition, this program, formerly known as the Mosaic Extreme School Makeover Challenge, began in 2006.
