End in Mind “I am excited about the things that are

happening in the lunchroom... We have put the fruit in 2 places now and are offering fresh fruit everyday to our older students. Just today I gave out stickers for eating carrots to kids that refused to eat them before - just so they could get the sticker.. :)”

Obj 2. Working with 50 Schools

Most common barriers to implementation of SL strategies are space/set-up issues, time, and administrative or staff resistance.

Best Advice to Colleagues. It’s easier than you think to make small changes and those small changes can make a big impact, try new and different ideas, ask for help, and keep trying. One participant noted that, “Presentation of the food is everything,” and another said, “[The strategies] increase nutritious choices at no or little cost.”
