The Fresh Fruits & Vegetables program at Washington Elementary School (WES) only started in October, but has already had such an impact on students, teachers and staff. Food Services Director Anna (Ogaard) Brekken told the Crookston School Board that the district was lucky to get accepted for the program and they were able to sneak the fresh fruits and vegetable snacks into the elementary’s regular snack time on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The federally-funded program offers fresh fruits and vegetables to students at no charge and hopes to expand the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables children experience, increase children’s fruit and vegetable consumption and positively impact children’s present and future health. WES was awarded $6,120 in August 2020 to be spent directly on the distribution of fresh fruit and vegetable snacks to its students at a minimum of twice per week.
