"Produce Man's Healthy Challenge" is a SCHOOL WIDE fruit & vegetable campaign for any school in Boone, Campbell, Kenton and Grant counties and is conducted by the Northern Kentucky Health Department. The Challenge is for Kindergarten-5th grade (however Pre-K & 6th grade may also participate if you choose). Students and staff have a tracking chart to record a daily goal of eating at least "5" servings of fruits and vegetables. Plus, all students & staff choose a 2nd goal such as swapping out sugary beverages to drink more water or getting in 30 minutes or more of physical activity outside the school day.

*New* There will be NO Healthy Challenge Assemblies for 2015. We will provide a short video of Produce Man that explains the Challenge to your students to be played in each classroom prior to the start of your Challenge Week.

(*Optional) You may sign up to have Produce Man visit your school if you would like. He will be available to schedule on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays prior to each of the Challenge Weeks for 15-30 minutes to visit classrooms or during part of the lunch period. This will be provided on a first come first served basis after signing up for the Challenge.
