Myrtle Crest's hallways were buzzing with energy as families of all ages learned, laughed, and had healthy fun exploring all the nutrition-focused activities at our Great Healthy Halloween Challenge Family Night in October.
Kids and grown-ups discovered: What’s really in our drinks—and how to make smarter choices. How to spot “Go,” “Slow,” and “Whoa” cereals to start the day strong. How much movement it takes to burn off just 90 calories (about three mini candy bars!)—a fun and eye-opening lesson for everyone.
From hands-on stations to exciting challenges, the night was filled with “aha!” moments and healthy inspiration. Thank you to all the families who joined us—you made the event unforgettable!
