Snack Squad learns how to make homemade ranch dressing!!

Snack Squad is rewarded to a trip to Courtney's!

Snack Squad students were given a challenge to select food from Courtney's to enjoy, but in order to keep it, they had to describe why the snack they chose at Courtney's was healthy and identify what food group it belongs to.

Snack Squad students have earned these points by being on time, preparing snack, filling out snack sheets and showing it to their parents, but overall being great listeners and participants.

1 million lights visit/ Strawberry parfait

Snack squad had a special
guest named Laura Chao who is the program manager from an organization called 1 million lights. She taught snack squad the differnces between a traditional incandesceent light and a LED light.










One main differnce was how much energy one bulb used vs the other.




One main differnce was how much heat one light bulb gives out. More heat=more energy used. This photo on the right shows a traditional incandescent light which gave a bright light but also a lot of heat.





This photo on the right shows a LED bulb which also gave a bright light but no heat. Which meant it saved more energy.
