A Food Lion nutrition tour

Sarah Kesner is the Deli Manager at the Food Lion just down the hill from Freedom Baptist. She is also the mother of one of the kids in Ms. Treasa's class. She so graciously agreed to give Ms. Stacey and Ms. Treasa's class a tour of the ins and outs of a grocery store and help them learn how our nutritious food gets on our tables at home. Each child received a hair net, in order to enter the deli. We sampled some cheese, walked into a storage refrigetator and freezer (VERY COLD), saw some boxes being crushed for recycle, and waved to the meat department employee. We also took a tour of the produce department identifying all of our favorite fruits and veggies as well as being able to spary off the lettuce with the hose--a definate favorite! Sarah and the entire staff at Food Lion were so welcoming and the tour was very fun and informative! Before we left, Sarah gave each child a Food Lion goodie bag and a yummy banana to remember their visit. We hope to make this an annual nutrition unit fieldtrip!
