Keep School Lunches Hot • Fill an insulated container with boiling water, close, and let sit for 10–15 min. • Heat food separately. Never microwave the container. • Empty the water & quickly transfer the hot food into the container. • Close the lid tightly to keep the heat in. www.teachnutrition.ca

Food & nutrition education in schools is vital. Top 3 reasons: 1) It’s part of NL's curriculum outcomes for all grades. 2) Builds food literacy. 3) Nutrition is among vital elements that supports student success and long term development. More info on DFC's Teach Nutrition website.

It’s #FunFactFriday! Teachers say they have eyes in the back of their heads… but cows almost do! Cows have a field of vision of almost 360 degrees. This means they can see to the left, and to the right at the exact same time! They will never miss a thing even when their head is down grazing!

It’s #FunFactFriday! Have you ever heard that cows sleep standing up? Turns out that is false! Dairy cows love to get comfortable to rest. They usually sleep a total of four hours a day, curled up with their head on their bellies, while others sleep sprawled out!

It’s #FunFactFriday! Do cows go to the spa? While cows may not go to the spa like us, they do get manicures. Twice a year their hooves are trimmed and inspected for any infections. This is the same thing as clipping your own nails.

It’s #FunFactFriday! Milk truck drivers act as so much more than just chauffeurs going from point A to B. Each milk truck driver is also a qualified milk grader trained to inspect the sight and smell of milk, and take sterile samples from each farmer’s bulk tank before loading it onto the truck.
