5-2-1-0 Puppet Show & Snack Graph
On Wednesday, March 28th, Leslie Smith and the Theatre of Life Puppets, will be performing a show about nutrition for Sweetsir students. Parents and younger siblings are welcome to join us for the 1:30 show!
We are grateful to Anna Jacques Hospital for securing a grant from the Mosely Foundation. As a result, they will provide the funding for the puppet show along with $1,500 worth of library books and materials to promote healthy eating and exercise! Teachers will facilitate class discussions to help students decide if the snacks they bring to school are healthy choices. Results will be graphed and displayed in the classroom for an ongoing period of time. (Don't worry parents, we will send home hints and ideas for healthy snacks).
