BASD Bowlers Needed
On March 4th, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley is holding Bowl For Kid’s Sake, a fundraiser that brings in thousands of dollars to help support our local mentoring programs. As part of this year’s event, we are inviting our partnering school districts into a friendly competition. We would like to see a minimum of one team of Littles from each school district attend this year’s Bowl For Kid’s Sake event. In order to get them there, we are asking Bigs, School staff, and community partners to help us raise the funds necessary for the team. The Goal is $375. For every $375 raised one district team will be invited to participate in the event on March 4th. We have over 80 students from the Bethlehem School District matched in our program. We’d love to see many of them represented on March 4th.
The district that raises the most money will be awarded the 2018 District Trophy!

WEEKLY NUTRITION and FITNESS TIPS
.
Healthy Tip from Michelle Martucci, RD, LDN
Dietician for Bethlehem Area School District
Children develop food preferences starting at a very young age (preschool or earlier). It’s important to offer a variety of healthy foods and limit junk food to develop healthy habits early on. Taste preferences can still change, but if the child gets continued exposure to healthy foods this will likely be the foods they select as they get older.
