Happy New Year!
After the
Christmas break,
we have quickly
reestablished the
routines we had.
Students and staff
are well rested
and ready to
continue learning
and working
together.
Over the break I
had the
opportunity to
travel to the
Dominican
Republic for
some sun and
sand. While
there, we had the
opportunity to
learn about
another great
part of our
wonderful world.
I am always
amazed that
even though
there are
differences
between
countries and
customs, people
are people and
we all have
common needs;
those basic
needs of food,
shelter, and
clothing, and the
need for
relationships, joy,
and love.
As we progress
through our year,

ways. We are
very proud of
what we are able

On behalf of the
staff at TES I would
like to wish you
and your family all
the best in 2016!

Breakfast & Education We have heard many times the importance of having breakfast in the morning. There
is an increase in the number of studies about the effects of having breakfast and
education.
Breakfast helps improve mental performance and concentration during morning
activities. Children who skip breakfast will be more sluggish, less attentive, and have less
energy to carry out their morning tasks. Teachers observe that children who come to
school hungry experience more learning difficulties compared to well-nourished
children. Studies show that breakfast eaters perform much better in their school work
and show extra energy in sports and other physical activities. (About Kids Health)
Students who are given nutritious breakfasts daily make significant improvements in
learning, school attendance, behavior and self-esteem. (Ottawa Network for
Education)
It is important for students to come to school having had a good breakfast at home.
However, we do realize that there are instances where, because of circumstances,
children miss breakfast or they had breakfast, but are hungry once they get to school.
Our school breakfast program is for students who need to have something for these
reasons. All students who need to have a quick grab-and-go breakfast option are
welcome to participate in our breakfast program, but it is not a substitute for having
breakfast at home.
We would like to thank those families who have donated muffins to our breakfast
program. They are greatly appreciated. We will continue to take donations.
Monday – Muffins
Tuesday – Toast
Wednesday – Yogurt/Cheese and granola bar
Thursday – Oatmeal
Friday – Varies
Each day, fresh fruit is available for students to have
