Fairview Alpha second graders were whipping up healthy foods and snacks at the NSU Health Fest Tuesday, Nov. 2. The students utilized their mobile kitchen purchased through Project 212. The menu included ants on a log, above, tortilla wraps, vegetable soup and fruit and yogurt cups. Teacher Frances Sarpy said most of the foods they prepare are no cook, so the kids are safe and it is also something they can prepare at home for themselves. The event was an enrichment activity for their social living curriculum that also incorporates math, in measuring, and science.
