Play:

A Community Taste Test Event

Topics:

Access to Healthy Foods

Fuel Up to Play 60 club members set up a healthy snack taste testing station in conjunction with our Jump Rope for Heart activities. Students in all grades tasted beet chips, edamame, blackberries, sweet potato chips, pomegranate seeds, and other healthy snack alternatives. Many students tried items they have never eaten before. It was a great success!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Teacher sponsors and club members worked together to plan, purchase items, and execute the plan.

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

We have spoken to our cafeteria team about offering the items students enjoyed the most.
