Our elementary students showed off their green mustaches on Thursday, March 18, after sampling healthy, delicious green smoothies during lunch. It was all part of “Green Mustache Day,” a fun annual activity that ACS sponsors as part of its membership in the AtlantiCare Healthy Schools, Healthy Children program.
Photos were taken of the K-5th grade students as they sampled the smoothies at their lunch tables. A staff panel of judges later selected three groups of students for having the best green mustaches. The students received a dress down day pass and a PTF snack pass.
And the winning students sporting the best green mustaches were:
— from Mrs. Vaccaro’s kindergarten class — Olivia Douglass, Alivia Eaves, Addison Figueroa, Annalise Gaffney, and Jayden Warriner;
— from Mrs. Brossman’s first grade class — Sean Connolly, Kane Cummings, Nehemiah Gonzalez, and Cole Manzione;
— from Mrs. Kiefer’s 5th grade class – Billy Winkel;
— from Mrs. Murphy’s 5th grade class – Ethan Brumble, Elijah Polynice, and Matthew Schlundt.
Thank you to the team of volunteers who helped make the smoothies — Anne Block, Doug Pearson, PJ Santos, Heather Shivers, and Steve Thomas. Here’s the special smoothie recipe, using a blender, that makes 32 ounces of a healthy green smoothie:
2 ripe frozen bananas
1 apple, chopped
2 cups fresh chopped spinach
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup cold water
