Healthy children are better students!
Be A Smart Shopper!™ is designed to reinforce the nutrition and healthy lifestyle education curricula taught in schools. At your local Kroger, this field trip encourages students to become passionate
about incorporating health and wellness into their day-to-day lives. Students learn life-skill nutrition lessons in a fun and real-life environment through the use of hands-on activities and discussion.
The FREE Be A Smart Shopper! field trip will help children in grades Pre-K-6 develop and enhance skills in:
- Healthy living and nutrition
- Meal planning
- Economic principles
- Decision making
- Careers
Trained tour leaders modify the field trips to be grade appropriate. The field trips are 60-90 minutes in length and are limited to 30 participants per tour – although this number may vary by location.
Trip amenities include:
- Free samples of healthy foods and beverages.
- Free student goodie bags with souvenirs from their trip.
