Access to Healthy Foods

Many students on our Fuel Up to Play 60 Team wanted to complete the challenge of trying five new vegetables, but didn't have access to those vegetables. Our Fuel Up to Play 60 Advisors went out and purchased five of the new vegetables for the students to taste test. During our bi-weekly meeting, students had the opportunity to try rhubarb, kale, bok choy, parsnips, and sweet chard. All of the students tried all five vegetables and some found a new kind they liked.

How did you accomplish your goals?

Students had to try all five vegetables to meet the challenge requirements. All of the students present at the meeting met the challenge!

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

Students were excited to tell their families about the vegetables they tried. Some even took extras home to share with family members.
