Thanks to a teacher grant from funds raised at the CC5K, Ms. Tammy Bach has launched the Healthy Kids Crew at #LearningWayElementarySchool, and it is already a big success! 🌟
Twice a month, after school, a group of 24, 2nd - 5th grade #students are learning what fuels their bodies best: real food, water, sleep, sunlight, movement and stress reduction. 💧🌞🏃♀️ They are also exploring whole foods, updated food pyramid guidelines and the impact of ultra processed foods and added sugars.
A favorite part has been hands-on food experiences! Students have enjoyed preparing and tasting foods such as guacamole with blue chips 🥑, salmon jerky and hummus on flax crackers.
The enthusiasm, curiosity and willingness to try new healthy foods has been outstanding and truly inspiring to see!💛💙
