Students, staff and faulty gathered in the Silberman campus (119th and 3rd in East Harlem) lobby on Wednesday, October 23rd for their very own Big Apple Crunch during which participants took a simultaneous bite out of an apple in celebration of Food Day (10/24/13). Throughout the day, Nutrition Club volunteers distributed over 1,200 apples donated by Red Jacket Orchards, a local New York-based farm. Apples were distributed directly to local East Harlem community members, and to students in the “I Have A Dream Foundation” after-school program at PS7, along with information on the health benefits of the fruit. Through these efforts, the Nutrition Club was able to spread awareness about Food Day – a nationwide celebration and movement for healthy, affordable and sustainable food – to the Silberman and larger East Harlem communities.
