Healthy Eating = Healthy Kids

Last Friday, we had a big celebration and ribbon cutting for our new walking track. We celebrated health and wellness, with each grade level taking a health-related theme. The third grade theme was Healthy Eating. So, Mrs. Johnson had a great surprise for us on Friday! Our class turned into "Mrs. Johnson's Fruity Bunch!" She had us all fruit headbands, visors, or necklaces made from fruit. It was so fun! But, the best part was Mrs. Johnson's outfit! She had a big, tall FRUIT HAT and a big fruit necklace. She even had huge pepper earrings!!! It was so funny!!! We laughed and laughed when she showed us.

There were many dignitaries at the ribbon cutting ceremony, including our new superintendent - Dr. Edwards, JPS board members, Wade Overstreet of Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many more! It was a perfect time for us to SHINE!
