​Health & Wellness at the CBE

At the CBE, we believe in a whole school approach to health and wellness. We call this our Comprehensive School Health (CSH) approach. CSH is about healthy eating, active living, supportive social environments and positive mental health. As a system, we focus on the following four areas: healthy eating; healthy relationships; physical activity; and positive mental health. Each school creates its own approach and goals for health and wellness.

Snacks Tips for Parents

Since children have smaller stomachs than adults and need to eat every 3 to 4 hours, snacking is a good way for them to get the extra nutrients and energy they need. Try to include 2 or more food groups in a snack to make it high in nutrients. Try these great ideas: 

  • Fresh fruit and crackers
  • Fruit yogurt topped with cereal; animal crackers and milk
  • Celery sticks with cheese spread and raisins
  • Sunflower seeds and juice
