Nutrition Program - Maryland Park School

At Maryland Park School, we believe nutrition plays an essential role in supporting healthy, active, and engaged learners. Thanks to government and non-profit funding, we are able to provide snacks, and supplemental lunch items to students without barriers, judgement, or stigma.

Our nutrition program is inclusive and accommodates food allergies as well as religious and cultural dietary needs. All foods offered follow the Province of Manitoba’s Moving Forward with School Nutrition Guidelines.

Students have daily access to classroom snack baskets to support their nutritional needs throughout the school day.

Food programs are funded through government support, Food for Thought, and the Child Nutrition Council. Maryland Park School applies for Child Nutrition Council grants annually to ensure ongoing access to healthy food for all students.

Important Note: There is no judgement regarding foods sent from home, provided they do not contain allergens identified within our school community.
