Fuel up to Play 60 is a program founded by the National Dairy Council and NFL, in collaboration with the USDA.\u00a0 This program empowers schools to make healthy changes in the areas of nutrition and physical activity.\u00a0 At Gretna Elementary the Fuel Up student advisor team held a taste testing event at the school\u2019s annual sock hop dance.\u00a0 The event was held in March.\u00a0 So to keep in line with a St. Patrick \u2019s Day theme all the fruit and vegetables were green:\u00a0 green apples, kiwi, broccoli, and zucchini.\u00a0 The food service manager had suggested green foods that she was considering offering at lunch.\u00a0 This was a great opportunity to give her feedback from the students.\u00a0 Green apples were by far the most popular, kiwi came in second, with broccoli rounding out third place, and zucchini in a very distant fourth place.\u00a0 Even though zucchini wasn\u2019t popular with all the kids some of the youngest guest really enjoyed it (as pictured).\u00a0 He ended up eating almost the entire zucchini.\u00a0 We sent the leftover zucchini home with the families with recipes to make zucchini bread, and zucchini \u201cchips.\u201d\u00a0 Many parents expressed thanks for Fuel Up and the role it has had in increasing their children\u2019s awareness of the importance good nutrition and many of the students request to be on the Fuel Up to Play team next year. \u00a0Click here for your school to join \u00a0Fuel Up to Play 60<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
