The students who raised the most money were rewarded with getting to make a "human salad." The music teacher sat in a plastic swimming pool and let students dump lettuce, croutons and salad dressing (all products that were expired and donated) all over him. "We had heard about schools making human sundaes but we were not interested in that; we wanted a healthy salad! The kids were so excited," said McIntire. Healthy messages are even integrated in the school's yearbook and music recitals. Last spring the music teacher made sure that every song performed was related to healthy living. Students serenaded their audience with songs about eating vegetables and brushing teeth. The yearbook's cover title was "Let's Get Healthy," and featured healthy tips and ideas throughout the book.
