A little nostalgia ...

“Our school is so fortunate to be able to deliver such a wonderful breakfast program to our students. Our students have certainly enjoyed having a large variety of choices for breakfast, including fresh fruit, cereal with milk, yogurt and juice. It’s great we can also provide them with special breakfasts like smoothies, cinnamon toast and pancake breakfasts.

Eating a healthy breakfast is linked to improved concentration, better test scores, and increased energy, and with TC Energy’s very gracious annual donation for our Fuel For Learning Program, all of our students are able to start each day off right! Thank you!

According to Alberta Health Services, “a healthy breakfast:

​

• Helps you and your family have more energy for school, work, and play.
• May help you and your family stay at a healthy body weight, which can lower your risk of developing chronic diseases.
• Increases your intake of calcium, iron and fibre.
• Improves memory, focus and readiness to learn.”

“A big thank you to TC Energy for supplying daily breakfast to my daughters for many years now.

We consider ourselves very lucky to have our children have this opportunity to be given healthy, daily breakfast options at our school.”

“The failure to eat (a well-balanced) breakfast has been documented to have a deleterious impact on cognitive performance, with the academic performance of school-aged children being the focus of much of the research in this area (e.g., Mahoney et al., 1998; Murphy et al., 1998; Wesnes et al., 2003).

​

The argument is that improving cognitive performance may be especially important amongst those of school age (Adolpus et al., 2013; and Pollitt and Mathews, 1988).”

“I would like to say a big thank you to TC Energy for supporting the breakfast program at our school, because of the support we get from this program our children get a healthy breakfast every morning, which includes fresh fruits and dairy products. Eating a healthy breakfast gives them a good start to their busy day.”

“We would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to TC Energy for the breakfast program at the Wandering River School. The support of our children (our future) is nothing to be taken lightly. For them to be guaranteed a healthy breakfast is paramount to their success and wellbeing. With the current situation globally, I know how families everywhere are having a hard time. Speaking for my community and the less fortunate, we thank TC Energy for the continued support of the future generations. With the deepest gratitude and respect,

“Often how we begin our day plays a part in how the rest of it goes, and I am so thankful that each student in our school has the opportunity to start their school day with healthy breakfast options. It is wonderful that we are able to offer this selection of items through sponsorship from TC Energy.

We are really able to help and encourage our student to create healthy habits that they will hopefully continue long into their bright futures! ”

“Our school really benefits from having the healthy breakfast options that are available each morning. I try to always have fresh fruit and encourage the students to expand their palette by trying new things. They always love it when we have fresh bananas or berries and many like to top their yogurt with cereal with them. I also like to slice apples and top with cinnamon and the kids are all excited to see these special and healthy treats offered to start the day off right. We have cereal bars and fruit cups, yogurt, juice, milk and cereal every morning to pick from. Thank you, TC Energy, for your support -- without it, all this would not be possible!”
