Healthy Snack Program at Hartman

Healthy Snacks at Hartman

This year Hartman partnered with Food for Learning to educate our students with Healthy Snack Choices. Hartman received funding to help provide healthy snack alternatives to our students.

Each week, each class received a bin of healthy snacks for the students to enjoy.

With the funds, Hartman organized a Healthy Snack Table (watermelon, apples and clementines) for our track and field event for grade 4-8. Students enjoyed Healthy Snacks during their resting period.
