Did you know that Super Snack Lady is currently visiting 5 schools a month? Not to mention that she's working on scheduling even another school. Super Snack Lady sees almost 800 students per month! That means that Super Snack Lady is one VERY busy lady (please forgive me if I see you in public and can't remember what school you go to or your name. I try my best!).
Though Super Snack Lady has been busy she can tell you that all of the schools have been busy encouraging students to eat healthier. Teachers have been teaching lessons when Super Snack Lady hasn't been there, cafeterias have been putting up posters to inform students how easy it is to eat yummy fruits and veggies, and students have been staying active (thanks for saying hi to me as I run the track at the downtown YMCA!).
It's a group effort to get kids to try new, healthy foods. That's where YOU (the parent, guardian, role model) comes into play. Please ask your student if Super Snack Lady has been to their school recently. Please ask them what foods were brought. Please ask them if they liked the food their tried. Lastly, if they liked the foods please attempt to purchase the food again for them to reinforce the good behavior of eating healthy! It's a team effort to get children to eat healthy and you are a VERY important player on our team!!!!
Below are ways the schools are supporting and reinforcing Super Snack Lady's message!

| These window clings show two of the new menu items for this school year: spinach and melon. It's always a healthy pick of the day! |

| This window cling was placed on a "sneeze shield" at a salad bar area at a school. YUM KIWI! :) |

| One cafeteria put their signs all along the wall where students wait to go through line. It's a great daily reminder of the awesome foods that they can eat! |
