Access to Healthy Foods

Working with our March is Reading month, we promoted a Healthy Snack Day. During one of our DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) times we encouraged students to read and snack with a healthy snack. The Wellness Team gave families suggestions for healthy snacks and the kids loved it. All our students loved to curl up with a good book and an healthy snack!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Our families worked with their students to bring healthy snacks. The greatest thing was to see parents bring more that a healthy snack for their own students, but for all the students in the class. Students were excited to try new fruits and vegetables and other healthy snacks.
