Update on community discussion about food at school

Today's community meeting about foods was a very positive event.
Ms. Baker took on the role of facilitator for our Information Gathering Circle. She is trained and experienced in restorative justice facilitation and is a real contribution in sensitive discussions such as this one.
Besides Ms. Baker, representing our administration, there were participants from the teaching staff, parents and PAC executive.
The Talking Piece made two rounds around the table:
On the first round, each participant could choose to pass or to talk about their particular concern and what they hope will come out of this discussion about foods at school.
During the second round, each participant was given a chance to ask a question, which was not to be answered immediately, but for which they would hope to hear/find an answer eventually.

What happens next?
We would like to hear from as many parents as possible. You can submit your responses to the questions

"What I hope comes out of this conversation" or
"What I hope does not happen as a result of this conversation" 

until December 15 by either using our PAC box at the school office (put Att: Food and Health committee on your message) or by e-mailing your response to the chair of the committee at jana.ronne@gmail.com.

There will also be another community meeting opportunity scheduled for just-before-pick up time for those who cannot come before school. We will notify you of the date as soon as it is set.

Based on what was heard today, what written responses we get and what will be heard at the next  meeting(s), a draft motion will be created and brought to PAC.
