Healthy Snack Guide

Fernbank Elementary has taken on the challenge! We are enrolled in the Healthy

Schools Program which is an initiative of the Alliance For A Healthier Generation.

Our Wellness Council is assessing our health and wellness programs, and using the Healthy Schools framework to promote a healthy school environment. These snack recommendations are based on the snack guideline in the Healthy Schools Program.

Fernbank Farm to School

The mission of the Fernbank Farm to School initiative is to improve the health and nutrition knowledge of the school's community through garden-related curriculum, awareness campaigns and exposure to local and healthy food. Using Fernbank's edible garden, nutrition education will be integrated into every discipline, including science, math, language arts and social studies. Fernbank Farm to School will support wellness policy and create a healthier school environment by increaseing the availability of healthy food choices.

Healthy Schools Program

Fernbank has taken the challenge! We are pursuing bronze level recognition from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The Healthy Schools Program provides a framework for schools to assess and improve the wellness of their school culture. It helps schools create an environment where physical activity and healthy eating are accessible and encouraged. The program is an obesity prevention program that was started by the William J. Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association.
