Better snacking

AUBURN - Healthy snacks can taste just as good as junk food.

That is what many students at West Middle School in the Auburn Enlarged City School District learned last week after nibbling on pieces of pineapple and banana and swallowing yogurt parfait and Mexican dishes as part of a healthy snacking day sponsored by Wegmans supermarkets.

Eighth-grade students from teacher Kristi Newton's health class along with seventh- and eighth-grade students in the home and careers classes prepared food provided by Wegmans to serve to peers during the lunch periods last Tuesday.
