How can you use energy to make energy? Ride a bike and make a smoothie at the same time! On Monday the garden classes had a special treat, thanks to Mr. Abraham's second grade class. Mr. Abraham's class won the "Golden Sneaker Contest" last month, so they received a bike blender party. Rosie Mesterhazy from Safe Routes to School brought the bike blender and offered it for our use for the day. For the smoothies, we used berries fresh and frozen, bananas, juice, and for some, soy milk or yogurt. While the kids took turns on the bike blender, we talked bike safety, smoothie ingredients, and energy use.
All the kids gave the experience a big thumbs up! Special thanks to Elsie Lee for her help. The next "walk and roll to school day" will be October 3rd--keep that date in mind, meanwhile, bike safely!
