Briarcliff Elementary School is celebrating the benefits of eating healthy with their Fruity Friday program, which encourages its students to make better, more informed decisions when it comes to selecting snacks.

“We have a group of very enthusiastic parent and grandparent volunteers who help us out every week,” said principal Louis Parrinello. “They dress up in costume and even sing songs about the importance of choosing to eat right. It’s a great way to promote these positive lifestyle choices.”
