Dear Parents,
As we move into the final four months of school, it is the perfect opportunity to celebrate progress and growth in everyone, to con-firm family rules and expectations, and to establish new routines for the spring season. On Wednesday, March 9, 2016, second term report cards will be issued. These reports provide a wonder-ful opportunity to notice successes and growth in areas that need further development. Important learning habits such as nightly reading or homework completion can make a significant differ-ence in a child’s level of success. The Kelly Creek staff would like to thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child’s academic lives. The importance you place on ensuring your child attends school on time enables us to make the most of every school day. Together, we make Kelly Creek Community School a great place to learn.
Sincerely,

The Benefits of Eggs Unscrambled!
Written by Melissa Baker, MHSc, RD, BC Dairy Association
Are eggs good or bad for you? The answer has finally been unscrambled.
Recent research has highlighted that the cholesterol found in eggs has a minimal effect on blood cholesterol levels. An average of 1
egg per day can easily fit into a healthy diet. So, despite eggs unhealthy reputation in the past, we now know that eggs are a great
choice:
They are an excellent source of protein. Getting enough protein from your meals can be especially challenging during break-
fast time. Eggs can help! Each large egg has 6 grams of protein. Add them to your breakfast to help spread your protein
intake more evenly throughout the day.
They are nutritious. Don’t throw out the yolks, as they contain almost half of the protein and many other healthy nutrients,
such as choline, folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin A.
They are affordable and readily available. Some organic or omega-3 enriched options can be more expensive so stick to the
regular option. Eggs are a good choice any way.
They are versatile and easy to use. Perfect for quick meal with family or friends. Get the little ones involved too – teach them
how to crack open an egg and whip up some delicious scrambled eggs!
Here are some simple ideas of how to incorporate more eggs into your diet:
Hard boil eggs and keep them in the fridge for easy snacks or additions to meals.
Bake mini-quiches in muffin cups for a quick grab-and-go option in the morning, or make a sandwich with an English muffin and
microwave it with a slice of cheese for a quick meal.
Egg salad is a great staple when you just don’t know what to pack for lunches. You can make it ahead of time and keep it in the
fridge for 2-3 days.
Try a healthier version of “fried” rice at home. Stir-fry brown rice, with your favourite vegetables, and some eggs.
Top pizza or sautéed greens with an over-easy egg.
