Farm-To-School Event and Food Drive Give Greenwood Elementary Local Perspective

With June Dairy Month just around the corner, Fuel Up to Play 60 wanted to highlight one outstanding school that took extra steps to educate students on the importance of knowing where their dairy comes from, as well as the value in giving back to the community.

Greenwood Elementary School in Lees Summit, Mo. had a string cheese giveaway day, where students who purchased school lunch were given a free string cheese and a bookmark with fun facts about dairy. They were also encouraged to take trips with their families to local farms to see where their food comes from, and to pick their favorite fresh items. Now, students are opting to eat string cheese instead of other cafeteria snacks, and a local produce company provides home-grown vegetables and fruits.

Greenwood students also participated in a competition among grade levels to contribute the most items to a food drive for families in need. Their combined efforts filled eight barrels with food, and provided more than 200 families with a meal!

The entire community rallied together to support Greenwood’s efforts, with Boy Scout troops volunteering to pick up food items, and high school cheerleaders participating in the string cheese giveaway day. This is one Fuel Up to Play 60 school that has gone above and beyond to empower students to make smart, healthy choices!
