Dear David:

Kudos must be given to the Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) IV seeing this "no junk food" decision through. Chairman David Colburn, Vice Chairman Sarah Hoffman, & Conference Chair Mike Janz & the rest of the Board are doing the right thing in excising junk food effective this Wednesday, September Ist. As a person with weight issues & dietary struggles myself I can truly appreciate that the Board is trying to make our kids safer & give them healthy snacks so that they have positive energy levels & caloric intakes. Whereas with junk food the level of lethargy goes up, yes indeed David, EPSB & its affiliated schools are on the right track.

Run Three Extra Laps,

Rory
