As we have seen over the past few months the need to look after our health and wellbeing has never been so important. One step towards a healthier lifestyle is healthy eating and I’m sure you will support us in helping to ensure a healthy nutritious lunch when packed lunches are provided from home.
As ever, we also want to encourage all eligible families to avail of free schools meals.
Finally, the Public Health Agency, in partnership with Health & Social Care Trust dietetic teams, are running webinars on healthy lunchbox and snack ideas, which parents may find useful. The next dates are Friday 11th September at 12noon and Thursday 17th September at 6pm. For further details and joining instructions please check the PHA social media channels.
