A message from COPACS
We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Great Big Crunch this March! The Canada-wide movement brings together students, teachers, parents and others passionate about food to crunch into apples and other crunchy fruits and veggies to make noise for healthy school food!
Here’s how you can participate in the 2022 Great Big Crunch:
· Register your Crunch: Whether you are crunching by yourself, with friends, with your class, or with colleagues, we want to keep track of your crunches. Make sure you register them here, and that you send us pictures and videos so that we can document them.
· Use our activity toolkit: Celebrate healthy school food using our Great Big Crunch activity toolkit! You'll find fun curriculum-linked activities to bring the Crunch to life for children of all ages. You can even congratulate them for participating by printing a certificate of participation.
· Crunch with your whole school/school board/organization! Schools and organizations have been hosting their own Great Big Crunches for many years, some inviting their local politicians to join. See how you organize your own on page six of our activity toolkit.
· Join our virtual Canada-wide crunch: Register for the Canada-wide Great Big Crunch that will take place on Thursday, March 10 at 1 - 1:30 pm EST! Together, we will make some noise for a healthy school food program across Canada. Kid-friendly activities start at 1:15 pm and the Crunch will take place at 1:25 pm.
For any questions, feel free to contact me at greatbigcrunch@healthyschoolfood.ca
