Drew students contribute to healthy-eating video

 

Fourth-grade students at Charles R. Drew Elementary, 1775 NW 60th Street, Miami,

FL

choreographed and performed the Veggie Rap song for a segment of a

healthy-eating video that will be available free to elementary schools in the

tri-county area.

 

The video, called Eat Your Fruit and Veggies, is the brainchild of Susan

Hargreaves, a director of the Fort Lauderdale-based Earthkind, a nonprofit group

that offers free programs to schools.

 

The video relates the adventures of Herlock Holmes, who is transported around

the world by the magic of the Earth Wizard and discovers how people in different

countries stay healthy by eating fruits and vegetables.

 

For their performance, the Drew students were treated to a vegetarian oriental

meal of pan-fried vegetable dumplings, vegetable fried rice, crispy tofu in

black bean sauce with broccoli and snow peas and sweet battered tofu.

 

Earthsave-Miami, an environmental group, and Earthkind paid for the meal.
