The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a grant opportunity for schools to provide children with fresh fruits and vegetables at no cost during the school day. The goal of the program is to promote the consumption of fruits and vegetables among school-aged children, educate students about the benefits of fruits and vegetables, and expose them to new varieties.

Teaching children healthful eating habits may help promote a healthy school environment, improve student health, and help combat childhood obesity. The FFVP introduces school children to a variety of produce that they otherwise might not have had the opportunity to sample. Students participating in this opportunity are offered items to try, they are not required to eat anything.

If you do not want your child to participate please fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/RR4Lm7mcNvAeNZZA7

At the end of every quarter we clear out the Lost and Found and donate anything left in it. Please remind your student to check for anything they are missing this week. Families are welcome to stop in to check it as well. At the end of the day on Friday, September 27th we will bag up anything left in there and donate it.

100 Mile Club is open to Kinder – 5th grade AAK students. 100 Mile Club sessions will take place on the sidewalk on the NW side of the parking lot from the donation bin to the playground. Students may participate from 7:25-7:40am and 3:40-4:00pm on any day they are present and do not have another club at that time. Children who are interested in being a part of the 100 Mile Club should sign up here: https://forms.gle/ZoyMdgDdkYho33fC6
