Food for Learning supports The Great Big Crunch<br />
ON March 8, <strong>2012</strong>, students across Canada participated in The Great Big Crunch, trying to make a crunch so loud,<br />
everyone would know they were enjoying a healthy snack. Toronto Foodshare’s Great Big Crunch event invites<br />
students <strong>and</strong> teachers to learn about healthy eating, <strong>and</strong> local & global food systems, while following the journey<br />
from apple seed, to harvest, to market to the core. The Great Big Crunch was created to promote, celebrate<br />
<strong>and</strong> enjoy healthy snacking <strong>and</strong> to highlight the availability of local apples all year round. In an effort<br />
to encourage local children to increase their consumption of fruit <strong>and</strong> vegetables, Food for Learning<br />
purchased local apples from Grills Orchards <strong>and</strong> The Campbell’s Orchards allowing three schools to<br />
participate in the Great Big Crunch. Students from Bayside Public <strong>School</strong>, CML Snider Elementary <strong>School</strong> ,<strong>and</strong> St.<br />
Carthagh Catholic <strong>School</strong> simultaneously crunched their apples on March 8.<br />
All I's On Learning - Project Enhancement Fund In Action<br />
<strong>Hastings</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Prince</strong> <strong>Edward</strong> Learning Foundation Chair, Elaner Pound, had an opportunity to experience the Project Enhancement<br />
Fund in action <strong>and</strong> the following were her observations.<br />
“I have just come from spending a great evening talking with students about their use of ipads <strong>and</strong> other media in the classroom.<br />
It was amazing! The students were able to articulate what they had learned <strong>and</strong> were able to demonstrate that learning to people of<br />
all ages. The energy in the room was very evident. I learned so much! For example, I wish that I could have been able to do my<br />
“book reports” using the process the students displayed this evening when I was their age. It would have made the report so much<br />
more interesting!”<br />
