Sartell-St. Stephen Students Seek High Scores!

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 – BLEND is proud to announce the launch of NuVal® in Sartell-St. Stephen middle and high schools.  Students and staff can now use the NuVal® Nutritional Scoring System in the a la carte line and in vending machines to help improve their health by making it easy to identify the more nutritional food choices.  The system takes more than 30 different nutrients into account when developing a food or beverage score.  What does the final score mean?  It’s simple – the higher the score, the higher the nutrition.

This exciting initiative was made possible thanks to a grant given by the Medica® Foundation.

Walk-At-School

In an effort to assist schools to take positive steps to support healthful fundraising practices; BLEND, along with SHIP (Statewide Health Improvement Program), has developed a walk-a-thon fundraising toolkit to promote walking rather than the sale of unhealthy foods. This allows 100% of the funds to stay at the school. “Walk-At-School” is a fundraising model in which students raise money by collecting donations or pledges for walking a predetermined distance or course.
