The Great Big Crunch

On Thursday March 11, 2010 join Canada in taking one big bite towards healthy living through healthy eating. The "Great Big Crunch" invites all communities to learn about healthy eating and local and global food systems while following the journey from the apple seed, to the harvest, to the market, to the core.

Croft will be supporting this initiative by providing free apples to all students on Thursday March 11th. Help support healthier children by promoting healthy eating habits each and every day.
