Special Fresh Fruit & Veggie Snacks
November 1, 2016
Thomson is Part of a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grant
Davison Community Schools and our Food Service was awarded a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grant to be used to used to provide an additional fresh snack to students that attend Thomson, Central, Gates, and Siple Elementary buildings.
Each week, students will be given an additional special fruit or vegetable snack on Tuesday and Thursday. The special fruit and veggie snacks will be served in addition to your child's normal classroom snack time and you should continue to send a daily snack with your child. Our Food Services director will be selecting an array of fruits and vegetables. Some of the items will be very common (apples, carrots, grapes), others may be things that the children have not had a lot of exposure to (zucchini slices, pineapple, mangos)...depending on what is in season. Therefore we are calling these days, 'Try It Tuesday' and 'Think Healthy Thursday'. While students will not be forced to eat these snacks, they will be encouraged to give them a try!
