Wanted Healthy Snacks
Food, Glorious Food.  

Last year the Grace Park Health Council's goal was healthy snacks.  
Here is a snack that was introduced last year.

I know we said earlier that we wanted kids to be active.  This was just too good not to be included.  This website has a computer game online
where kids add the foods they eat and the activities they participate in to
fuel their rocket.  Fuel tanks from various food groups help kids see how
their choices fit into their food pyramid.
