Waltham High School Health Fair
We had a great day attending Waltham High School's annual Health Fair. We talked to lots of students about healthy living and cutting down on sugary beverages. Students were surprised to see how much sugar is found in many common beverages! To avoid empty calories and excess sugar, water is your best choice, or choose seltzer with a splash of 100%
fruit juice. For more photos of the day, please

. Thank you
RTN Federal Credit Union
for sponsoring our table! Great to see Alex from Waltham Fields Community Farm there too.

Congratulations to Fitzgerald Elementary School on their new garden! A group of parents, teachers and kids gathered on April 30 to transform a terraced area near the small playground on Beal Road into their new garden. Great job by parent Allison Smith for coordinating the project with financial support from the Waltham Education and Beyond Foundation.
