Breakfast for Learning Volunteer Award for Leadership and Inspiration Each year, Breakfast for Learning celebrates amazing nutrition program volunteers who have had a tremendous impact in the area of child nutrition. Dorothy Ross and Sylvia Woodward are two child nutrition champions who have shown a long-standing commitment to the nutrition program at Pleasant Hill Community School in Saskatoon. For the past 28 years Dorothy managed the breakfast program at the elementary school, serving 50 students a healthy breakfast each day of the school week, and Sylvia has just retired after spending 17 years as the nutrition worker for the lunch program, nourishing 150 students each day. More than just feeding hungry children, they have both made a special effort to ensure maximum nutritional value in the foods they served and always strive to include traditional foods in the menu. Their shared passion and dedication to child nutrition has had a strong impact for generations of students and Breakfast for Learning is proud to call them members of our community.
