The students of Roswell North Elementary School participated in their first Healthy Eating Challenge created by the new PTA Health and Wellness Committee.  The students were given a work sheet to write down the number of fruits and vegetables they ate during the week of November 2 as well as varieties they had not tried before the challenge.  Points were given for every serving of fruit and vegetable and for every new fruit or vegetable that they ate. The Health and Wellness Committee gave out samples of kiwi, snap peas, bell peppers, pears and cantaloupe for students to try.

Every K - 5 student received a custom wrist band for participating.  A separate prize was awarded in every class for the student with the most points.  The committee was pleased with student responses and hopes to run another challenge during the spring semester.

Other projects of the Health and Wellness Committee include early release day healthy family activities, walking club, teacher and student walking challenge and an end-of-year family fun run and health fair.
