DuPont Pioneer is pleased to announce that as part of its Full Belly! Full Mind! initiative that supports nutrition and breakfast programs across Canada, $1,900 has been donated to Yorkdale Central School.
The grant will be specifically used to fund a new breakfast program. The Yorkdale Breakfast Program will provide a nutritious breakfast at the beginning of every school day to 20 students requiring assistance. Rob and Tracey Bletsky, Pioneer Hi-Bred sales representatives, endorsed the grant.
"Hunger is a real issue for a number of students in the community and affects their ability to learn," says Delaine Mandziak, DuPont Pioneer account manager. "The new breakfast program is a great initiative that will enable students to perform at their best in class."
"This donation will make a big difference in the lives and well-being of the group of children needing extra support, and will ensure their nutritional needs are met," says Shaune Beatty, principal, Yorkdale Central School. "We thank DuPont Pioneer for their generosity."
