Healthy Fundraising
Healthy foods at school build healthy bodies and minds, better grades, and create healthy habits for the future. That’s why Trenton Public Schools are working hard to make school meals and snacks as healthy as possible. But we can’t expect our students to be excited about healthy meals at school and to learn healthy habits, while we still encourage buying candy, cookies, or donuts as part of fundraisers. Check out the easy ways YOU can help below!
Soccer Tournament
Show support for the strides already being made to create healthier fundraisers, by attending the Soccer Tournament on April 6th, 2019. Making this event a success will pave the way for future fundraisers that are healthier and better for our students and community.
