School Nutrition Action Group
SNAG
In our school we have a member of staff who is the Health Co-ordinator. She has responsibility for Health and Fitness issues in the school. She has formed a S.N.A.G. group (School Nutrition Action Group). This group consists of the Health Co-ordinator, 3 pupil members, 2 parent members, the school’s Catering Manager, the Region’s Client Officer, the School Nurse and the Health Improvement Officer. The group meets throughout the session and has responsibility for monitoring the diet and food offered at school lunches and the tuck shop. They also cover physical activity and the general well being of the pupils.

The SNAG (School Nutrition Action Group) have been busy organising several things in the school with Ms Graham, our Health Co-ordinator. They have asked me to remind you that fruit day is “Munchy Mondays.” They will be evaluating the success of Munchy Mondays at their next meeting on the 25 November. However they would like our pupils to eat fruit every day. They are also busy organising our Health Week which will be on week beginning Monday 8 March 2010, now that is organisation for you!! Thank you to Mrs Spence who has joined the SNAG group as a parent member. All up-to-date news is on the health notice board in the hall.
