After the book discussion and activity, the students understood why healthy snacks are important for children who are hungry. The class took action to help children who are hungry to stay healthy by each bringing one ingredient to make their own Trail Mix to send to children who eat evening meals at the Kid's Cafe in Jeffersonville. Finally they saw from their actions how we can each give a little and together make a big difference.
Pictures below show students combining their ingredients, mixing them and bagging the trail mix in small bags. They also added handmade notes to the children receiving the Trail Mix. Over 120 bags were made.
