Healthy Snacks Rock!



The "Go Healthy, Go Green" committee is in full swing at St. Peter's! Last week, the committee arranged for a special visit from Abby Shipley, community relations coordinator at Earthfare. While there, Abby shared nutritional information and tips while helping the students make healthy snacks.


Kindergarteners enjoyed fruit kebabs (a rainbow of fruit on a stick); 2nd grade enjoyed "shopping" their own farmers' market and fourth and fifth grade students created their own healthy banana splits (sliced banana, organic french vanilla yogurt and assorted fruit).
First grade held an apple tasting in preparation for their field trip to an apple orchard. They tasted five varieties of apple and even held a vote for their favorite. Red Delicious was the highest vote-getter, but students also liked Honeycrisp, Granny Smith and Fuji varieties.
