On March 11, 2010, the sound of crunching was heard through the halls as Earl Beatty joined students across Canada in The Great Big Crunch!
In its third year, The Great Big Crunch is a ‘day of apple education’ ending in a ‘Great Big’ synchronized “Crrrrrunch!” of students biting into their delicious AND nutritious apples. Organized by FoodShare as part of its Field to Table School Program, this event not only kicked off Nutrition Month in March but worked to encourage our students and teachers to learn and talk about healthy snacking, eating locally, composting, local and global food systems and more.
FoodShare reports that over 50,000 students from across Canada joined The Great Big Crunch – as well as students from Amsterdam and Morocco!
