Kamiakin Food and Fitness Students Learn About Healthy Snacks

Kamiakin Food and Fitness class ended the semester by reviewing healthy snacks with Sam Shick, district Food Service Director. This two day event began with a discussion on reading food labels, proper portion size, nutrition dense foods (eating around the rainbow), daily caloric needs and planning a healthy and convenient snack. Day two was preparation and judging day. The students went right to work and prepared their snacks for judging.


The teams of students prepared a presentation plate and enough small samples for everyone in the class to have a taste. The competition was close with two judges tied and the third judge determining a winner by only 3 points. Comments from the students included, “It was fun” and “couldn’t have been better.” “I enjoyed the experience very much” supported the success of the students! We will invite Sam - The Food Dude - back next semester.
