Access to Healthy Foods

After talking about FUTP 60 with the students and tying in a lesson with the Dallas Stars program, I  received a letter from a parent. She basically stated how before they even got in the car to go home, her kinder daughter was talking about needing to eat healthier. One their way home, they stopped at a fast food place; however the daughter insisted on grilled instead of friend chicken. She also wanted to drink water instead of milk or juice. The mother was quite pleased at how motivated her daughter was to change some of her eating habits.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

It became a situation where the parent as the adult would incorporate healthier eating at home.
