At Green Valley School (GVS), we attach fundamental importance to providing adequate nutrition to our students in order to ensure their optimal physical, academic and emotional development.
At GVS, we offer children a healthy, tasty and attractive menu. We plan meals with balance, ensuring the right proportion of different food groups, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, lean meats, fish and eggs.
Lunch is presented in a varied way in terms of colors and textures, ensuring that all children receive the nutrients and vitamins necessary for optimal body function.
Our goal is to minimize the use of processed foods and offer as many organic and healthy products as possible.
We understand that it is not only relevant to pay attention to what we consume, but also to the environment in which we enjoy our meals.
At GVS, we allow children to enjoy their meal and relax with friends in a peaceful environment. We schedule different shifts to ensure that different groups of students can eat at separate times.
This fosters peace and serenity during mealtimes, allowing children to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
In our effort to “close the loop,” Happy Faces Kinder and Green Valley School offer organic gardening and horticulture classes as part of our program.
We believe in the importance of connecting students to the process of growing food. This gives them a unique opportunity to actively engage in planting, cultivating, caring for, and harvesting crops.
The foods harvested are then used in the preparation of school meals, allowing children to truly savour the “fruits” of their hard work and “heart.”
This holistic approach emphasizes the importance of understanding where food comes from and the value of responsible, sustainable practices.
