Did you know that it is important to energize yourself

most important type of nutrient that someone need for energy before a game. You
can get these by eating fruits, vegetables grains such as pasta, spaghetti, or
breads. Avoid food containing high levels of sugar before a game, such as candy

Gillian in Mme Bulger Hickey's class filled a few buckets today. She decided to donate the money she made from recycling at home to our annual grade 5 field trip. Wow, what a wonderful random act of kindness and great way to kick off our week! Well done Gillian, you are an ultimate bucket filler!
What to drink when exercising? Water? Sport drinks? Electrolyte gels? Energy drinks? The choices you have in store are endless but which one are really worth it? Water is always a good choice. Water contains no calorie, no sugar, no additive, etc. Your body always needs water, even when you are not exercising. To be more environmental friendly, use a refillable water bottle. Sport drinks like Gatorade or PowerAde are a mix of water, sugar, flavor and electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium).
Our GG Times Crew, Super Flex Team and Cool Kids' History Project were all featured this evening under the guidance of Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. Morehouse and Mrs. Loggie. These teachers along with their student group members showcased their cool projects for DEC members and educational leaders from around the province. They also had the opportunity to rub elbows with other students in ASD-N who were also recognized leaders within their schools. It proved to be a wonderful evening for all and a great learning experience!
