ALACHUA ‒ The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe recently welcomed Jamie Kraut, Family Liaison from Alachua Elementary School, to talk about a school nutrition program.
Kraut shared with the Club that the school’s cupboard used to store healthy snacks for students is now empty. These snacks are used for children who regularly come to school without having breakfast, or for children who get hungry during the day. The snacks are also used as positive reinforcement by teachers in classroom activities.
The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe requested a grant from the Florida Kiwanis Foundation of $750 to restock Alachua Elementary’s cupboard with fresh fruit and healthy foods.
The grant application was successful, and the local Kiwanis Club received a check in the requested amount. Kiwanis club member Linda Hewlett bought and delivered the food to Kraut and Alachua Elementary and helped stock the school’s cupboard.
