Pupils at Cyril Jackson Primary School joined 55 other schools across the borough to celebrate Trigger’s eighth birthday today. Trigger is Tower Hamlets Council’s healthy eating mascot and has been a favourite visitor in many schools over the past few years. For Trigger’s birthday celebration, local pupils feasted on a special themed lunch meal of freshly prepared homemade dishes along with a selection of homemade sandwiches, homemade chicken nuggets, homemade pizza, coleslaw, potato salad and mixed salads. The spread was finished off with a delicious chocolate cake topped with orange segments. Pupils were also given the opportunity to enter a competition to design a birthday hat for Trigger. The deadline for entries is 23rd May 2008, with each school having a winner who will receive a pack of colouring pencils. There will also be 5 overall borough prizes of five street scooters. Winners will be announced on 2nd June 2008. Michael Hales Head of Children's Services Contract Services (CSCS - School Catering) said "Everyone has a birthday including Trigger, and this year we decided to celebrate it again with the children in the borough. He is a major part of our service and we know the children love him. The staff have again put in a tremendous amount of work in for this celebration to be a great success and big thank you goes out to all of them"
