Dear Parents,

We are proud to inform you that from December onwards, our students of Class V will curate a menu for the Primary Section of our school. After much research, discussion and planning, the young learners have chalked out a menu for the first time, keeping in mind the nutritional requirements and appeal to the taste buds. Please follow it from Monday, 04.12.2023.

MONDAY

  •Vegetable poha (flattened rice)

Vegetable poha keeps our gut health in check since it is easy to digest. It is loaded with iron.

Almonds are a good source of Vitamin E.

TUESDAY

Paneer paratha can be a great protein-rich breakfast to begin the day with.                                        

Cucumber helps in hydration. 

Groundnuts are crunchy and  a rich source of protein.

  •Bananas

  •Cashews & pistachios

Vegetable vermicelli has a high fibre content and is easy to digest.

Cashews & pistachios are rich in nutrients, important for energy production, brain health, immunity and bone health.

THURSDAY

Idly is tasty, rich in both carbohydrates and proteins.

Fresh coconut has natural oils and fats important for bone health and a glowing skin.

Oranges are a rich source of vitamin C and prevent scurvy.

Dates are a great source of iron and satisfy our craving for sweets.

FRIDAY

Sandesh is a delightful dessert that can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy diet.
