Troutman Elementary FUTP 60 Leadership Team sponsored our first Healthy Snack Recipe Contest. We had 17 students submit recipes and samples. Students served samples at our Book Fair Family Night. Attendees voted and determined the winner. All recipes were healthy and delicious. A great way to show families how eating healthy and exercising goe hand in hand with learning! Healthy Bodies Equals Healthy Minds!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Students and teachers worked together to promote and organize. Students helped with voting the night of the event and promoted the event over morning announcements.

How did you accomplish your goals?

Students participated and had fun sharing recipes and samples. Attendees comments about the event were positive and encouraging.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

We will publish recipes for all students and plan to so do again next year.
