There were 13 children who submitted essays on what healthy lifestyle means to them, including what healthy snack and activity is their favorite.
Although there were three winners chosen, all 13 children received an array of healthy snacks, including, Brothers all natural fruit, Stretch Island organic fruit strips, Nutrigrain bars, Welch’s fruit snacks, Annies’ certified organic snacks, smart pop and baked chips.
