Healthy Snacks and Lunches


We invite you to support your child to participate in our healthy nutrition goal by providing a piece of fruit or vegetable each day for snack time and in their lunches.  With a focus on our Student Purpose Statement, ‘I come to Taradale School to learn’, parents are also requested to please not send treats for their children’s birthdays. It is important to dedicate our instructional time to learning.

Research has shown that drinking water and eating fruits and vegetables is essential for good health and can help concentration throughout the day.


Examples snack or lunch foods that are not appropriate are:

  • Chips
  • Chocolate bars
  • Candy
  • Pop
  • Energy drinks
Thank you for supporting this initiative!

At Home Learning for April 20-24

Good morning everyone, I hope you've all had a safe and happy weekend! The warmer weather has definitely got me feeling better. At home learning for April 20-24 is now life on the Taradale School website. It can be accessed here: http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/taradale/about-us/news-centre/_layouts/ci/post.aspx?oaid=f345b278-4e11-41b2-a882-a93164f86f06&oact=20001 Thank you to everyone who made contact last week and to students who forwarded me their work. Just a reminder that students should try to engage in this work for approximately an hour each day. How you schedule that hour is up to your family. Please do what works best for you. Again, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I'll do my best to get back to you quickly. Have a great week, everyone!

NEW Field Trip Forms - oops!

We discovered a printing error on the field trip forms that were sent home on Thursday, so we re-printed and sent new forms home today. Please make sure you are signing the forms that are 5 sides long. Also, please bring $7 for our field trip. Monday is Orange Shirt Day - please wear orange or your favourite shirt. We mark this day each year in order to remember the survivors of residential schools. Our assembly is on Tuesday October 1 at 1:30 pm. Your writing prompt for this weekend is: Why do we have Orange Shirt Day? Do you think it's important? How does it make you feel?
