Today, May 18, Nickerson Elementary in Nickerson, KS had a food revolution day.  We had 8 stations for the students to go through.  Careers/Goals, food chain necklace, Just Dance, I-Pads, outside games, walking trail, chill room, and a healthy snack tasting table.  We had presentations from the Reno County Health Dept. and the Hutchinson Community College.  This was inspired by Jamie's quest to make children healthier.  Our food service secretary headed it up because her husband has Crone's disease and she had to change their eating habits.  Lunch was a taco bar with numerous veggies and a yogurt bar w/ granola, fruits, m&m's, and carob chocolate chips.  Needless to day this was a huge success.  It was also ABLE day (Attitude, Behavior, Learning, Effort).  Jamie needs to come to Kansas!

Welcome to the forum Terry 

That sounds like a brilliant day at school and one that the children will remember .
I know that a lot of planning and time has to go into organising these days at school .
Bet you all had a great day ,congratulations to all involved , staff and pupils .

Do you have any photos that you can post on the website , or a short video clip ?

Will you be organising something similar again for next years food revolution day ?

Just visited with JO on Google + Hangout. No food tho. Hmmm good thing I am making Pasta with fresh basil, off my plants.
Nice live chat, good to see the "old man" looking healthy. He is having a BD next week, a young 37yrs but so much under his belt.

Food Revolution Day is over, Danny and the students of Fifteen had some great events in London - and for sure there have been many more great events worldwide.
Today I had the chance to join the Vietnamese supper club at Fifteen. Now I have to figure out, how to show you some photos of it.

I have put three photos on the blog.
Yes it was really good.
