IRWIN Park’s Healthy
School Committee has
helped make our school a
better place.

The committee consists of six
Grade 7 girls and Mrs. Cairns, Irwin
Park’s vice principal.

“We started the committee in
October,” says Whitney Hartigan.

Whitney and her friends Katrinz
Fruchauf, Lauren Gula, Bronwyn
Mayo, Olivia Matheson = and
Shannon Clarke even created a
moito for our school.

“We are healthy, we don’t fight,
we don’t litter, that’s what’s right,”
Lauren recites.

When asked why the committee
was started, Mrs. Cairns answered:
“The committee was started because

ng to keep

it was one of the Grade 7 leadership
opportunities.”

“We have planted flowers in the
front garden of the school, orga-
nized contests to keep Irvin Park
clean, and have made the school
more beautiful,” says Bronwyn.

At a recent assembly, the girls
performed skits about how to
respect our environment and the
people around us.

“We are planning to organize
more contests co keep the school and
yard clean,” Katrina says.

“So far the only contest we have
is the “Cleanest Ciassroom,” says
Olivia. “The room that is the neatest
gets a prize.”

The Healthy School Committee
is looking for any donations of
flower pots, plants, bulbs, flower
seeds, or anything else to decorate
our school.

“Any donations would be greatly
appreciated,” says Shannon.

Food Day failings

HAS anybody noticed that the food we get on food
days is not very healthy?

Irwin Park school gets McDonald’s, pizza, and Subway.
Subway is healthy and pizza is not that bad but McDonald's is net
too healthy. ‘

I think it would be great if we had one day where only healthy
food was allowed and if kids brought unheaithy food to school
their parents would be phoned and wold that their kid had
unhealthy lunch on healthy food day.

Many people come to school with a bag of chips, a chocolate
bar, and a sandwich and that is not healthy at al, but other people
bring a sandwich, a drink, some vegetables and a granola bar or
something for recess.
