SNAP-Ed Bright Elementary
Highland County SNAP-Ed is making a difference in the community with the nutrition program they are providing.
After teaching nutrition lessons at Bright Elementary I ran into a 3rd grade students’ mother at a basketball game. She said ‘I have to talk to you. My son told me he can’t drink sweet tea anymore. I thought this was odd because he only has a small glass at dinner. When it came dinner time, I got the sweet tea out and he said ‘No, I want water instead’. So I gave him water instead. Then right before bedtime he went in the pantry to get a snack. He usually gets a granola bar but this night he got an apple because he learned an apple was a better choice.’
Pop Tab Battle
Do YOU or club want to participate? Highland County Extension office will be collecting pop tabs until November 21st to help.
POP TABS- The sweetest way to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities
“It takes approximately 1,128 pop tabs to equal one pound. We typically receive between $0.40 to $0.50 per pound of pop tabs. This program brings in an average of $6,000 each year. Last year you donated over 13 million pop tabs! We accept more than just soda pop tabs. The tabs can come from energy drinks, soup cans, or anything with a metallic tab.” https://www.rmhccoastalempire.org/get-involved/pop-tabs/
