UC CalFresh was invited to join Burroughs Elementary's Fun Day Event on June 8th, 2016. Students were rewarded with a fun day full of activities including face painting, slip and slides, bowling, water activities, and hair color spray. This event celebrated the students' hard work and success throughout the school year. Students used tickets that they earned during the year from their teachers for this fun day event to get different prizes and snacks as they participated in the various activities that were out there. 

UC CalFresh showed up at the Fun Day event with a Re-Think Your Drink booth where we presented a quick lesson on sugary drinks and how much sugar is in soda, sports drink, and juices. Students couldn't believe the amount of sugar they saw in those drinks and were committed to making water their main drink, especially after trying two types of infused water: strawberry with mint and cucumber with lemon. As Potter the Otter would say, "Drink water for thirst and you should know, water is healthy, it helps you grow!"

It was an amazing day of fun as students and teachers had a chance to enjoy the infused water for the first time from UC CalFresh. We hope to come back and enjoy this amazing event at Burroughs Elementary next year. Have a Fun Day!
