Healthy Beverages
School principals have told us that many of
the students’ lunches and snacks coming from home are not particularly
healthy. This is particularly
true with sugar-sweetened beverages such as Kool-Aid Jammers, Fruit Punch,
Five Alive, and soft drinks all too common. To support schools with
their Healthy Eating efforts and to highlight the importance of Milk and
Water, the western region of the NLESD has organized a Healthy
Beverage Week that
could be done at any time in schools.
Here
are the intended learning objectives.
Students will:
- Identify
the amount of sugar found in commonly consumed beverages.
- Describe
the nutrition implications of drinking these beverages regularly.
- Identify
healthier options.
