Access to Healthy Foods

As a reward for the grade levels that participated the most in our Walking Club, we held a smoothie rewards party. A local cafe shared the smoothies in portioned cups and gave us the full list of healthful ingredients to share with the kids. Many were amazed at all the fruits contained in one smoothie.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

A lack of staff participation was a challenge. So we used our external resources, like the cafe for the smoothies. We have seen that now that staff has seen some "visual success", they feel more excited about getting on board.
