Another outstanding way our school makes learning fun and relevant. Here is the description from the school website:
Collegiate School announced the launch of a new nutrition program at the Lower School Town Hall meeting today that will educate JK-4th Graders on the importance of making good, healthy choices at lunchtime and beyond.
The program, developed in collaboration with Aladdin at Collegiate, features the Fantastic Five, a cast of characters who represent the five food groups — Frankie Fruit, Danny Dairy, Priscilla Protein, Victor Veggie and Gracie Grain — and reinforce the importance of moderation, variety and balance in a student’s diet. This morning, five Lower Schoolers took the stage wearing costumes that represented the Fantastic Five, to help their classmates get excited about healthier eating.
