Kids Eat Smart: Breakfast Program @ MDJH

We have all seen an increase in the price of food at grocery stores in recent months. Doing more with less has become something many families have had to do to adjust to the rising cost of food in this new economic climate.

Our Kids Eat Smart Clubs are no different. During this school year, we have seen a significant increase in the cost of food and supplies for our Kids Eat Smart Clubs. Our KES Club volunteers are very cognizant of the need to ensure the best quality of food for our children at the best possible prices.

It is important to increase awareness and fundraising efforts to ensure we sustain our Kids Eat Smart Clubs. This new initiative, for Wednesday, March 16, 2016, is a food drive focusing on Breakfast items to fill our Kids Eat Smart Club cupboards.

It is important, that your school participate to help collect food.

We are asking businesses, community organizations and individuals to collect food for your KES Club and drop it off to your local school on March 16th. For people who wish to contribute but cannot make it to your school, they can DONATE online at http://www.kidseatsmart.ca/donate. Online donations can be designated directly to your school.

Please reach out to your local KES Regional Coordinator (information listed below) with any questions or if you require assistance, please call us (877) 722.1996 or email cstoyles@kidseatsmart.ca

Thank you for everything you do, every school day.

The short story test is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26. A study guide and definitions were given out today.

Short Story Terms List – Grade 7
The main elements of a short story are:
plot, conflict, setting, theme, character, and point of view.

Plot – the events that occur in a story

Conflict – a struggle between opposing forces. There are three types of conflict:
1. Internal conflict – character vs. self
2. Interpersonal conflict – character vs. character
3. External conflict – character vs. an outside force such as nature or society

Setting – the time, place and circumstance in which a story takes place. Circumstances are the conditions that exist as the story opens.

Theme – the main idea that the author is trying to communicate to the reader

Character – a person involved in the action of a story

Point of View - Narrator – is the person who is telling the story.
1. First Person Point of View – occurs when the main character tells his/her own story. The narrator is “I”, one of the characters in the story.

2. Third Person Omniscient Point of View – when the author is outside of the story and presents the thoughts of all characters. The narrator is all knowing and describes the thoughts and feeling of all the characters but is not a character in the story.

3. Third Person Limited – occurs when the author tells the story from the viewpoint of just one character. The narrator tells the story as “he” or “she”.


Know how to label a story line. See p. 94 of your text.
