E.A.T.S.

Eat Awesome Things at School (E.A.T.S.) is a wonderful program that provides kids with amazing opportunities to try healthy eating options at school. The program’s goal is to incorporate healthy eating lifestyles in the everyday lives of children whether it’s at school or at home throughout Summit County. “Our goal is to improve the school lunch program through a collaborative partnership as well as offering educational programs that promote healthy habits.” says Laurel Bartmess, Vice President of EATS. “We are working in Summit County, specifically Park City,” says Lisa Allison, a member of the EATS leadership team,”we have recently had inquiries from other areas in the county and will be discussing future plans for possible expansion of programs in upcoming years.”


    Now that the EATS program has come to Treasure Mountain, students everywhere are excited about the new lunches. “I believe it is a great idea,” says Anna Deimling, a 9th grader at TMJHS, “Our school needed a change when it came to what we were eating. I am glad we are now offered healthier and tastier food choices.” EATS recently installed a human vending machine that informed students about healthy eating choices and what they are putting into their systems.

    All in all, the installment of the EATS program in TMJH is a great idea. The issue is starting to resolve itself and we are starting to see students choose healthier food options in the lunch rooms.
