As students return to the classroom, the VON Ontario Student Nutrition Program is highlighting the role school programs play in supporting student success and well being.
Every day students across Southwestern Ontario are able to start their day with access to healthy meals and snacks from the program.
In a release the VON says research shows that reliable access to nutritious meals improves concentration, attendance and classroom engagement.
Danielle Findlay, Supervisor of Community Relations with the VON Ontario Student Nutrition Program says when students are nourished, they are better able to focus, participate and succeed in school.
