Access to Healthy Foods

After a morning activity in the gym, student leaders talked with their peers about the importance of eating healthy. Students organized a vote for your favorite flavor of bar. Bars were cut into thirds. Each student sampled a blueberry, strawberry and apple bar. The students then recorded their favorite bar and voted on the tally poster. The favorite bar was....strawberry!

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

The biggest challenge was coming up with a simple snack that could be passed out and sampled within a short amount of time. We came up with a breakfast bar. Parents helped cut up the bars into 3rds so students would sample each flavor.
