Norman Johnston strives to foster an environment of healthy eating across all areas of the school. Research shows that students who eat well learn better and engage positively in a school community.

Norman Johnston runs an annual 2 day Healthy Eating camp at a local outdoor facility. Students learn how to plan, shop, and prepare healthy low cost foods.
