Park Forest Middle School Health Fair

Our club was so lucky to be a part of this year's health fair at Part Forest Middle School. What an amazing experience it was getting the students excited about breakfast (and I mean, a healthy breakfast)!

Check out our awesome breakfast station! We featured fresh fruit, dried fruit, breakfast cereals, granola and chocolate chips (we offered this sparingly)!

Students eagerly learning about the importance of eating healthy breakfasts while creating their own breakfast mix. A lot of adults also came to our station... they were just as excited as the students!

Once again, great job CFS! I know the students took away some sort of message at the health fair and will think twice before they pick up a poptart for breakfast (hopefully, they'll also eat a piece of fruit)!

Gardening and Bake Sale

Over the past few weeks a few of us have been out to the Community Food Security garden plot to harvest, plant, and eventually close down the plot... there are still a few tomatoes and swiss chard, so if any of you care to check it out and see what's left, help yourselves!

Here are some pictures of the plot and our harvesting... this was the day we planted arugula, tore down the dying pole beans, and harvested peppers, tomatoes, and chard.

ALSO... Here are a few pictures from our Crop Walk bake sale over Homecoming weekend. We raised a total of $500 over 3 1/2 hour sale, plus another $250 in individual fundraising, giving our club a total of $750! Amazing...
25% of this goes directly to the State College Food Bank, and the rest of it will go to our designated charity, Heifer International.

Setting up outside the corner room!
A satisfied customer... and the most entertaining of the night

SWISS CHARD GALORE!

Neal and I went to the garden today and picked a ton of swiss chard... sauteed it with garlic and eggplant (also from our plot) - DELICIOUS.
