Apple Crunch Challenge
On October 22nd, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. we celebrated National Food Day by participating in The Apple Crunch Challenge to establish a new record of how many people bite into a Michigan apple on this day, with a locally grown Michigan apple provided by Hearty Harvest (our farm to School provider) and The Aggie Café. We met in the gym for a countdown so the whole student body and staff could take a bite of an apple at the same time! The numbers across the State of Michigan:
2013 75,000 participated
2014 225,000 participated
2015 ???????????????
What a jump between the first and second years! We can’t wait to see what the numbers will be for 2015. This was such a great opportunity to bring awareness about healthy options, Farm to School, local pride and our wellness policy. Thank you to everyone who participated!
