Dear parents/guardian.
Fruits and vegetables provide many essential vitamins and minerals for healthy living, and that eating a diet rich in fruit and vegetables can lower the risk of and prevent a number of serious illnesses and health problems, such as cancer and high blood pressure.As the childhood and adolescent years are imperative in the formation and inculcation of positive health and health-related habits, our school is partnering with Health Promotion Board to organize the Fruttie Veggie Bites Programme from 19 January to 20 February 2009. This programme seeks to promote the consumption of fruit and vegetables and reinforce the importance of consuming these among the young. With this programme, students will be issued with a card each time they purchase a fruit or vegetables from the school canteen. Students then consolidate their cards as a class effort and the class with the highest fruit and vegetable intake will be rewarded. The cards also contain simple messages to reiterate the importance of eating a variety of fruit and vegetables.Please reinforce this health message to your child by encouraging your child to include fruit and vegetables in their daily diets and also encourage them to consume 2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables every day. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any enquiries.
