Over 4,500 Frisco ISD elementary students signed up for the recent 21-Day Snacking Challenge, part of the Kids Teaching Kids program created by Medical City Healthcare. As part of Kids Teaching Kids, high school students use what they’re learning in the classroom to create healthy recipes, educational videos and wellness resources to teach younger students about nutrition and healthy lifestyles. For the snacking challenge, families are surveyed about their child’s snacking habits both before and after the 21-day period, with results provided to the District. A special thank you to the elementary PE teachers who bring this program to life at their schools!
