Making Fruit A-Peeling

Neshaminy Middle School, Langhorne, PA

Imagine hopping off the school bus in the morning and being greeted by a giant vegetable handing you a fruit. This is the scene once a month at Neshaminy Middle School in Langhorn, Pa., as “health ambassadors” dress in costume and distribute fruits and vegetables to students as they walked in to school. Homeroom classes answer the “Healthy Question of the Month” for a chance to win a full basket of bananas, apples and oranges for breakfast. Through these creative activities and events, students are being introduced to new healthy foods like pineapples, strawberries and kiwis. Learning about healthy food has never been so fun!
