| Impact Report | HEALTHY DRINKS Towards the end of the school year with summer approaching elementary students need to be prepared to stay hydrated. They need information on making healthy drink choices. The Home Economist informed forty-five Ernest Stapleton Elementary students about healthy drink choices as part of their after school program. Students learned the basics of reading a nutrition facts label. Students assisted in finding out how much sugar is in a twelve ounce can of soda as well as the sugar and caffeine content of different energy drinks. The Home Economist stressed the importance of drinking water over flavored water, sodas, and energy drinks. Students learned the importance of choosing juices that are made from 100% juice and sampled 100% orange juice. Students and parents were shocked by the amount of sugar in not just soda but energy drinks and flavored water as well. One hundred percent of the students enjoyed the taste of the 100% orange juice. Students said they would read labels before drinking there next beverage and would choose water or 100% juice over soda and energy drinks. |
