VALUED AT $500We had 3 different quotes from 3 different granite companies for granite to be installed in our home. Premium Granite Works was the only company to offer the complete package. They redesigned our kitchen island and supplied the carpenter and the plumber. There was no extra charge for them to remove the old countertops and dispose of them. The installation was perfect and our granite is out of this world. We would refer Premium Granite Works to friends, family and neighbours. Thanks Bill. Ray and Bernice

We dropped in at Premium Granite Works to look at some granite for our home. Bill came over to the house and spent time with us and let us know what his company could do for us. We chose a color and got a great price. The installation went smoothly with no damage when the old countertops were taken out. The installers did a great job and cleaned up after they were � nished. We would recommend this company to anyone. Thank you Premium Granite Works.

Tasty, healthy, and varied lunches right through the school year? Is it an impossible dream for busy parents? Not with a bit of discipline and a few good ideas! Filling a lunchbox with a healthy, balanced lunch just means knowing which products to choose at the grocery store.

Fruits and vegetablesChoose seasonal fruits and vegetables. As soon as you get them home, take a few min-utes to cut them into portions that will be easy to slip into a lunchbox. Build up a stock of small containers of sugar-free apple and mixed fruit sauces as well as 100-percent-pure fruit juices.

grain productsWhole wheat grain products are a great source of fibre and satisfy the hungriest of children, allowing them to concentrate on

their school work. Be sure to purchase whole wheat breads, bagels, tortillas, and crackers at the grocery store. The same thing goes for pasta products. As for rice, opt for brown rather than white and add quinoa and cous-cous to your shopping list for more varied menus.

dairy productsDepending on their age, children should drink between two and four portions of milk and substitutes per day. You can replace milk with an enriched soya beverage, rice milk, or almond milk if there is no nut ban at your child’s school. Look for yogurts with a fat content of 2 percent or less. The smaller bottles of pro-biotic drinks and cheeses in individual portions are also great choices. Be vigilant, however: many stirred yogurts and yogurt drinks are high in sugar.

MeatsTo prepare healthy lunches in short order, keep on hand a few hard-boiled eggs, cans of tuna or salmon, and cooked chicken. If you use ham in sandwiches, try to buy natu-rally cured meat. If your neighbourhood school allows them, walnuts and almonds are a great alternative source of protein and are delicious combined with a fruity snack.

Healthy lunches in no time at all

Tablet computers: a teaching revolution?More and more schools are succumbing to the temptation of tablet computers, and some have even made the iPad from Apple a mandatory item on their school supplies list. Primary and secondary students who were practically born with a mouse in their hands love this powerful technology.

For those who are not in the know, tablets are laptops with approximately the same dimen-sions as a sheet of paper. Digital tablets, also known as touchpads, have writing functions but also have the advantage of being media oriented: books, magazines, newspapers, news networks, and research sources are available at the touch of a finger.

Schools who have chosen to make tablets compulsory maintain that students no longer have loads of textbooks to carry around. Grammar books, dictionaries, and textbooks are all available in digital formats that are easy to download and much cheaper than bound books.

Tablets also offer new teaching possibilities for teachers, who can choose from a wide range of exciting educational applications. Although it is too soon for any studies to demonstrate the effect these tablets have on academic results, it is already apparent that young people are visibly motivated and seem to have more pleasure in learning when they are able to use new technologies.

One thing is sure: since computers first appeared in schools, technological develop-ments have changed the reality of students as much as that of their teachers. That is exactly what has happened with the advent of inter-active whiteboards, which are increasingly replacing the old fashioned blackboard.

Will tablets transform the teaching world? That remains to be seen, but many young people are already dreaming about it!

It only seems like yesterday when you were holding your little one in your arms, and now your son or daughter is getting ready to go to school. This is an important step in the lives of children, but it is also a big day for parents. Here are a few tips to help this first day be a happy memory to look back on.

• Reassure your children by telling them all about kindergarten well in advance. Use simple, positive words. Focus on the activities they’ll enjoy and the friends they’ll make.

• Visit the school with them or at least walk around the schoolyard. If your children will be going to school on foot, walk the route a few times with them. Remind them of all the safety rules and go over the landmarks with them.

• At least one week before the big day, establish a routine similar to the one your children will follow during the school year. Decide on the time they should get up and eat breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth, prepare schoolbags, and leave for the bus or walk. The same goes for the evening routine: choose when bath and bedtime will be.

• Two days before the start of school, check their school supplies. Every item should be identified with your children’s names.

• The evening before the big day, help your children choose the clothes they’ll wear and involve them in the preparation of their lunchboxes.

• Avoid showing any stress you may be feeling. Calm parents mean calm children. Answer any questions simply, without further explanation, as making a fuss won’t help anyone.

• Last but not least, don’t forget to take a picture of them with backpack and lunchbox as they leave for their first big day!

The first day of school is a big step for parents too!

Most children these days take the big yellow bus to school and back. Naturally, as parents you want your children to be absolutely safe around and on board these big vehicles. Here are 10 rules that you should remind your children about:

1. Be at the bus stop at least five minutes before it is due to arrive. If your children wait alone, tell them they must return home if the school bus doesn’t show up.

2. Use the sidewalk to get to the stop. If there isn’t one, walk on the left side of the road, facing the traffic.

3. Step back five paces when the bus arrives and wait until it comes to a complete stop before getting any closer.

4. Board the bus calmly, holding onto the handrail.5. Sit down immediately. Keep your schoolbag and your lunchbox on your knees or put

them under the seat: never obstruct the centre aisle.6. Stay seated and calm throughout the trip so that the driver can concentrate on driving

the bus safely.7. When the bus arrives at school, wait until it has come to a complete halt before

standing up. Hold the handrail when getting off the bus and never push other children.

8. Walk quickly away from the school bus. Don’t run.9. Don’t try to retrieve items dropped close to the school bus unless you tell the driver
