Watermelon Day at Holice Powell Elementary School

Holice Powell Elementary School recently celebrated National Watermelon Day by offering the sweet summer snack with lunch. Students who went through the lunch line were also treated to a variety of healthy foods offered by the Dyer County School System, including steamed broccoli, cucumber slices, sweet potatoes and whole wheat rolls. Healthy a-la-cart items like baked chips, yogurt, reduced-sugar fruit roll ups and plain and flavored waters are also available to children every day. Coordinated School Health recently added a salad bar to the cafeteria, as well.
