Jasmine’s Tasty-Monial

Jasmine, 5th Grader at Sherman Elementary

My favorite fruits are apples, oranges, and grapes.  I like other fruit, but those are my three favorites.  My favorite vegetables are celery and carrots.  I don’t really have that many favorite vegetables. Each week, when I look in the Brighter Bites bag, I feel excited because I have fruit, and fruit keeps you healthy.  I am most excited about the fruit that comes in the bags.  I haven’t tried any of the recipes, but my mom usually cooks with most of the vegetables. I eat more fruits and vegetables now than I ate before the Brighter Bites program.  My favorite dish my mom makes is stew.  She uses potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, and onions.  This program impacted my eating habits in a good way because I eat lots of vegetables I didn’t eat before.

I’m Dreaming of a Bright Christmas

Christmas Whenever one of our schools asks us to participate in something a little extra, we jump at the opportunity!  We love helping our families in any way we can.  This week we collaborated with the Houston Food Bank and Sherman Elementary to make its students’ holidays a little brighter.  Not only did they receive new books and toys that a community partner provided, but they also received school supplies, recipes, apples, oranges, and peanut butter! As a bonus, we got a sneak peek of a school’s Jingle Jam Talent Show!  This week as been filled with one holiday event after another and we couldn’t be more joyful this Christmas season.
