Snack

A snack was served each day at 3:45, before the buses were loaded.

In the 60’s through the mid 70’s vanilla ice cream cups (with wooden spoons) and popsicles were most common. Popsicles came in Lime, Banana, Orange, Red, Grape, Three-colour (red,white,blue). Sometimes, Mr. Freeze Pops.

On occasion, fruit was served. Usually plums or watermelon.

One thought on “Lunch”

  1. Barbara SteeleRemember going to Forest Valley in the early 80’s. I went to Driftwood P.S. Great memories of our day trips there. I remember eating lunch in that same tent looking building.Reply
