Two teams of students, one from Gladwin Junior High School
and the other from Beaverton High School, each placed first during the
S.P.A.R.K.S. after-school program’s Healthy Soup Competition this month.
With a
$30 limit, groups of students from Beaverton, Farwell, Gladwin and Harrison
schools were challenged to create a soup with only fresh or frozen meat and
vegetables; low-salt stock; and no added salt.
Judges Keri Hamilton, DeVonna Haskell, and Joe Trommater of
the Clare-Gladwin RESD; Sarah Kile of Central Michigan District Health
Department; and Lacie Curns of Chartwells tasted, deliberated, and selected
which healthy soup tasted the best. Gladwin Junior High made chicken taco soup
and Beaverton High School made broccoli cheese soup.
“This activity taught kids how to cook healthy on a budget,”
said S.P.A.R.K.S. Director Joe Trommater.
The Clare-Gladwin RESD’s S.P.A.R.K.S. program (Students
Participating in Academics and Recreation for Knowledge and Success) is an
after-school and summer-school program for students in Beaverton, Farwell,
Gladwin, and Harrison school districts.
