Crafting Careers at C.F. Carr Elementary

We love spreading the word about nutrition! That’s why it was such a huge honor to speak at career day at C.F. Carr Elementary School. We talked to the kiddos about working for Brighter Bites as dietitians before we taught them the sweet specifics about sugar in drinks! We enjoyed sharing how rewarding it is to be on the Brighter Bites team! It’s so much fun cooking up scrumptious samples and working with our extraordinary volunteers every week. Talking to the kids about fruits and veggies is especially rewarding too! Maybe even our favorite part! The newfound muscles we have from lifting 50 pound bags of cabbage aren’t bad either. They sure impressed the kids! At the end of the day, we taught a lesson about sugary beverages. After some quick measuring, the kids were shocked to see how much sugar was in some of their favorite drinks! We used this opportunity to talk about making healthier choices with Brighter Bites produce and even shared a smoothie recipe that the kids could make at home! We really enjoyed spending time with the kiddos at C.F. Carr and can’t wait to see them again in the spring!
