For many schools, field day is a special event that students look forward to all year long.
Students Haylie Baillargeon and Deidra Hanshaw, both 7th graders, applied to be student ambassadors in their school’s Fuel Up to Play 60 program.
Funding was awarded to junior Liz Hamel and sophomore Owen Flanagan for their idea “Operation Healthy Lunch.”
The program encourages youth to consume nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat or fat-free dairy.
Aiken Elementary School is enhancing their school meal program by offering another option to students—smoothies.
