Petree Elementary Students Plant Garden as Part of Campaign to Encourage Healthy Food Choices


In the Wednesday, April 24, issue of the Winston-Salem Journal, reporter Wesley Young writes about a program with a connection to Petree Elementary School.

As part of Novant Health’s campaign to fight obesity, Mayor Allen Joines went over to Petree on Tuesday to help students plant a garden. The idea is to encourage students to make healthy food choices.

The campaign, which has a purple theme, is called “Turn the Town Purple.” With that in mind, the students donned purple T-shirts and included plants with purple in them in their garden. Photographer Lauren Carroll took the pictures. For the complete story go to Winston-Salem Journal
