Listening for a "Great Big Crunch" at 2 o'clock this afternoon

Elementary students across the district will be learning all about healthy eating today (Thursday).

Kendra Patrick is a Public Health Dietitian at the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit.

She says the students will also participate in the Great Big Crunch, taking a bite out of an apple at 2 pm.

Patrick says the event is to build awareness and enthusiasm about healthy eating.  She says throughout the day they will participate in healthy diet related activities before the synchronized “crunch” .

Close to 8,000 students and staff from all across the North Bay area are expected to take part.
