Mark your calendars, OSNP Southwest’s Great Big Crunch is Thursday October 22nd, 2022!
Join The Ontario Student Nutrition Program – Southwest Region (OSNP – SW) by crunching on apples. Don’t have an apple? Feel free to grab a carrot, cucumber, pear or any other delicious piece of crunchy produce to celebrate the Great Big Crunch!
This fun initiative gets kids, educators, parents and politicians to think about the impact food has on our kids while making a whole lot of noise! You may set some time aside in class, organize an assembly, or encourage the crunch during lunch hour.
When you crunch, you’ll be teaching your students about the nutritious and delicious benefits of apples and local food, while taking part with other students from across Southwestern Ontario. Whether your class or school participates in a day’s worth of activities, an afternoon or just one big crunch, we hope your students get excited about local food and healthy eating.
By Crunching with us, you will be celebrating:
- Student Nutrition Programs
- Local farmers and the abundance of vegetables and fruit we have available to us in the Southwest Region
- The fall harvest & healthy eating
- The beginning of the 2022-2023 school year!
