Science Extravaganza!

Super Snack Lady often gets to do some pretty cool things including playing in the soil in school gardens, doing fun gardening enrichments that include crafts, running around schools in her lime green cape, and most recently: teaming up with Kids On Course to do a Science Extravaganza at Van Buren Elementary!!!

Kids on Course is funded by the Zach Johnson Foundation (the Cedar Rapids pro golfer!) and does a lot of different activities in both Van Buren and Harrison Elementary Schools.  These two schools also happen to be schools that Super Snack Lady visits!!  So, a month or so ago Super Snack Lady was approached to join their Science Extravaganza night and she obviously said yes.

 The theme for this year's Science Extravaganza was Sustainability.  The Kids on Course people broke it down into three parts:  Sustainable You, Sustaining the Community, and Sustaining the World.  They featured many different things such as how to recycle newspapers and make them into hats, how to recycle water bottles and make a bowling game out of it, how to take care of the Earth through recycling, and how to keep you sustained by taking care of yourself through exercise and eating right. That is where SUPER SNACK LADY came in!  

Check out these photos of this AWESOME event!

WELCOME!!!  Come on in!

Do you want to join Super Snack Lady and
"Taste the Rainbow" of fruits and veggies?
Also- a HUGE thanks to these volunteers
who helped Super Snack Lady pass out
snacks to over 300 people!

YUM!  From left to right:
Tomatoes, carrots, grapefruit, lemons
snow peas, cucumbers, red cabbage.

Again, our AWESOME volunteers who
helped make the night run smooth!  They were
all ready for the families to come and eat!

The Kids on Course folks did some
cute and colorful decorations for
Super Snack Lady's tasting!

Mrs. Stock, the principal at Van
Buren is sustainable by re-using
water bottles.  Way to go Mrs. Stock!

The main hallway was transformed into a Lorax
themed hallway with Truffula trees and even
a Lorax!

 

 

Kids could also take a spin on the
prize wheel.  The prizes ranged
from little bouncy balls to t-shirts
and even beach balls and lanyards. 
How fun!

Super Snack Lady did have a lot of fun and the time sure did speed by!  Sadly she didn't get pictures of the tarantula (sustaining the world and keeping animal alive) or the painting of the flower pots.  Kids also got a free book of their choice!  What a GREAT, FUN event!!!
