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.

Student Birthdays
While we love to acknowledge the children’s birthdays and make the day special for them, we are requesting that parents not send treats (food or other gifts) to school. The reasons are numerous: many classrooms have students with allergies and they are not able to partake; celebrating birthdays with a treat infringes on teaching and learning time; many treats are very messy causing additional clean-up for our teachers and custodial staff.
Student birthdays will be acknowledged during the weekly announcements and those celebrating a birthday will offered a special birthday pencil. Thank you in advance for celebrating your child’s birthday outside of the school day.
