Web Site• Play with Your Produce Healthy Challenge
Produce for Kids (PFK) invites K-12 classrooms to enter the PFK “Play with Your Produce Healthy Challenge” contest for Fall 2009. Projects must focus on getting kids to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, feature at least three of PFK sponsor products, and involve the entire classroom. All entering classrooms will receive coupons and discounts for fresh produce, sample lesson plans with fun fruit & veggie activities, discounts on nutrition books and curricula, and Produce for Kids goodies for the classroom. Three grand prize winners will receive a classroom party toolkit (with party ideas, recipes, favors and $100 gift certificate to purchase produce and other nutritious food from a local grocery store), a $500 mini-grant to promote school-based health and wellness, and their photo and write-up highlighted on the Produce for Kids® website.
