Kids refuse to sell candy after completing health unit
10 02 2006Hear, Hear! Good for our kids to help remind us of how to conduct ourselves, (they do that a lot! 
)!
Kids at a Florida elementary school refused to sell candy to raise money for a field trip, having just completed an educational unit on health and well-being. The widow of Dr Atkins was so moved by their commonsense that she donated $16,000 to their school so they could afford the trip without selling junk-food.

).
